Try to love what you have, don't try to have what you love.
My mom once gave me that advice at the age of 9 or 10 when I lost my beloved bike to some bullies while playing at the playground. I distinctively remembered fighting before I was forced to give in to defeat. More than 20 years had passed and it translated into my behaviour of still fighting and failing because I let my guard down. When will I ever learn................
What happens when you've loved and you've had but its yanked away? The bullies win again........ :(
