What is your attitude?

My friend Markus mentioned once he was aiming at “Looking for opportunities instead of avoiding danger.”
That left me pondering.
It is far more frequent to play the “not losing” game rather than playing “to win.” Likewise, fear of loss moves us much more than hope of gain. However, if your main purpose is avoiding loss, you will hardly be able to win or make any noteworthy progress. You may only hope to stay were you are. Is that what you want for your life? If it is so, go ahead. But do it conscious of what you are really doing.

What is your attitude? What do you want from life?
