Lesson Learned: Go for it.
Recently, I was reminded of this old adage, “When you have a pocket full of nothing, you have nothing to lose”. What does this mean to you? I realize there are multiple interpretations of this saying. So let me explain it from my perspective. Maybe you can relate.
If you find yourself in a place of hard transition or unexpected change (professional or personal), consider this. When you are in a position of loss or have nothing left (an unwanted job ending, a divorce, your highest weight, or any other surprise ending), I see it as your pocket full of nothing.
Sometimes life can break you down and unfortunately leave you in a situation where you are between a rock and a hard place. Maybe you can relate.
It is in that place of emptiness or place of flux, you have to decide your next step, your new direction, or your next move. I see this as your nothing to lose time.
In your nothing to lose moment, you are in the best place to go for it. It is in this time, you can find your purpose, what you want for your next (career, relationship, or situation).
When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain. I see it as the ultimate opportunity to re-invent, re-create, and re-present yourself. You can become your best self.
Today, do you find yourself with a pocket full of nothing and an opportunity to live in your soul’s purpose? How do you see this place of transition? Is it a positive possibility or a place of resentment? Are you ready and willing to reframe your perspective?
It is not easy. But I know it can be done. After 30 years of marriage, I found myself in a place that I had not expected and I had nothing left in my pockets. It was a difficult and scary time, full of uncertainty and fear. But with the help of wonderful mentors, coaches, and counselors, I was able to turn my nothing to lose into My Soul In Bloom.
Changing my perspective gave me the power to transform and become the best version of me. I am finally living in my soul’s purpose.
But my journey is far from over. So, let’s grow and become together. Remember, you have nothing to lose.
