The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.

It is very useful, when one is young, to learn the difference between "literally" and "figuratively." if something happens literally, it actually happens; if something happens figuratively, it feels like it is happening. if you are literally jumping for joy, for instance, it means you are leaping in the air because you are very happy. if you are figuratively jumping for joy, it means you are so happy that you could jump for joy, but are saving your energy for other matters.
