Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero - The Art of Losing

Episode Date: August 18, 2020

In this episode I play a track called "I'm a loser" ...a play on words about the importance of losing the things that hold you back and  using life's lows to propel you to your highs.

I've come to accept the fact that I'm a loser. The more people say otherwise, the more I prove over and over again that it's just who I am. Stuck in my ways, an outsider, outcast out of my mind, loser. See, it started with my old identity, who I used to be, yeah, I lost that. Then I lost those people that made me feel small, the ones holding me back. Bye. Would the street continue? You bet.

Lost that need to please others. Hey, it turns out I know what's best for me better than they do. Lost the things being done out of obligation and not purpose. Lost the wrong metrics I was using to measure success. Gone. Lost my way so that I might find something better. heart. Thought I might lose my mind, but I found it. Just lost my old way of thinking, and hey, that's a win. Lost yesterday, found tomorrow, lost scarcity, but found abundance. I lost two, the people

who were more talented, better skilled, the ones who outclassed me, fine. Showed me what it took to win. I lost my heart a few times. That sucked, but it looks like it still works, so we're good. I lost my purpose, followed the shiny objects instead of the things that matter, but sometimes seeing what doesn't shine puts a spotlight on what does. It keeps me swinging from star to star, hey, I like it here. I lose my discipline from time to time, but hey, regret hurts more, so I force myself to find it. As I write this out, speak it into existence, I'm losing track of time. All is forgotten.

But I think that's how it should be. I hope I lose more tomorrow. Yeah, I lose a lot. Thank God. Thank you.
