We have nothing to lose in this life.

Lailah Gifty Akita
About This Quote

The greatest thing we can have in life is the sense of security we feel when we’re not afraid. The idea that we have nothing to lose makes us stop and consider all the possibilities that could happen in our lives. We learn to look past the bad things and concentrate on the good. So when there is nothing to lose, we are free to do anything we want with no fear of failure.

This quote makes the point that, when we lose something important in life, it feels like we’ve lost everything. When we’ve lost a loved one or a job, everything seems so much worse than it really is. But when we have nothing to lose, we can say goodbye to our fears and start talking with new ideas.
