We are all afraid of losing what we have and sometimes we hold on to it so tight that not a soul can touch it. We think that by hiding it from the world, it’s hidden and it’s ours. Nothing is. Nothing ever will be. For, nothing ever was.

If you think there is anything that you have, that’s yours, be it money, a house, a job or a lover, it’s nothing but an illusion. It’ll all disappear in one blow.

We feel so insecure that we are afraid to re-start our lives and we just carry on trying to sort out the current mess. The thought that we should give it all up and just start all over - with nothing - might cross our minds sometimes but we get scared and we push away anything that scares us.

There is nothing that we can ever achieve or gain that we cannot lose, in a matter of seconds. We have never gained enough to not be able to lose it all, in just a few minutes. What you think is yours, was never yours and will never be yours. Whatever you make here, you leave here. You came naked and you’re leaving naked.

So what are you afraid of?

Let all be lost. Let everything be taken away. As long as you have your heart beating strong; as long as you have your nostrils working fine; as long as blood still flows in your veins, you will live, you will breathe and you can get it all back again and again. For, if you can do it once, you can damn well do it again. That's the way life is so face it bravely and don't be afraid.
