Why I’m A Loser
Why would I call myself a loser?
Well I’m not. Not in the context you may think. It’s a complete play on words to prove a point.
What thought came to mind when you first read the title?
This is a short post about what can you lose in order to gain clarity, peace and a piece of mind?
What It Means To Be A Loser
- Losing an old way of thinking
- Losing my perceptions of people & expectations of my experiences with them. (Like you just had around the title of this post for example)
- Losing my emotional attachments around stuff that I own that is temporary
- Losing the people I may spend my time around that aren’t healthy for me mentally & emotionally
- Losing my bad habits
- Losing false beliefs
- Losing a job or business that no longer fulfills me
These are just a few examples of things you could lose in your life that could free up your life energy. What could you be missing out on in the way of new experiences based on your old perceptions and beliefs? What joy could you be missing out on by losing some of the old stuff you don’t use anymore?
The more you poor out the more room you have left to put more in.
“The more “stuff” you own the less success you can enjoy. Managing all of that stuff takes a LOT of management & stress.“-Eben Pagan
What could you lose right now, today, that would help you gain more clarity, purpose & peace?
Now you know why I’m a loser. 🙂

Unintended pun? “The more you poor out . . .”
Lose stuff and become poor in spirit – it is the way to wealth.
I’m about to move house so some de-cluttering will occur.

No pun intended Evan but I did wonder if anyone would catch that 😉 I read a fascinating article by Steve Pavlina yesterday that flies right in the eyes of some of my prior beliefs around spiritual & ego. I’ll be writing about it. I believe there is nothing wrong with being spiritual and having wealth. I just know that in order for me to fully live it I’ve got to let go of some “internal” stuff. Congrats on the move by the way! De-Cluttering is good!

although I appreciate the thought behind the post, I’m turned off by the title. Words are powerful and “losers” rubs me the wrong way. 🙂

Thanh Lu thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. That was one of my points, yes words are powerful however it’s our beliefs around the words and our attachments to them, that really make the impact. What if we were to live aware of the fact. That would give us the ability to respond, rather than react. I do appreciate the feedback and you’re participation. By the way I love your blog content and I’m now following you on Twitter. 🙂
