"Lose what needs to be lost so you can find what needs to be found"
One never thinks about this idea, until it is ‘in your face!’ Stop rationalizing, looking for underlying reason why...let it go! Attention and energy is wasted hanging on to what could or would or might be! I took this idea to an emotional attachment, even though it could apply to a material thing!
Interesting thought. It's kind of like you can't see the view until you climb to the top of the hill. When your perspective changes you can see new things.
I took it to mean you have to dump baggage before you find treasure, bcuz while you're focusing on stuff that's not good, the good stuff will slip away!
