At the Level of Daily Life, There is Loss

At the level of daily life, there is loss. If we spiritualize it away, we cannot use it to grow. …This usually means allowing ourselves to be touched by life, to participate in it. We learn by experience. The unexperienced life does not teach anybody anything. There are no spiritual shortcuts. Rachel Naomi Remen.

In order to make a real accomplishment he must sacrifice a number of other potentialities. He must give up his identification with wholeness and voluntarily accept being a real fragment instead of an unreal whole. To be something in reality, he must give up being everything in potentia.
