God's Profit

I’m quoting from Magnificat.
“True profit is not an accounting matter. Real gain is not accumulating things, even to the point of accumulating ‘the whole world.’  Real gain is finding oneself, which means finding one’s place in the mystery of Jesus Christ. Giving away one’s life to Jesus in a whole-hearted embrace of his cross is the key to finding oneself, for only in self-giving love are we united with Christ.” 

God wants us to profit, just not in the same way society defines profit. He wants to fill us with joy. 
Yet, what does it mean to deny myself? What does it mean to carry his cross? If I lose my life, I will be saved? I thought...I was already saved? Did I already lose my life? But I'm alive...
