JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH:
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" What does Jesus mean in saying if you want to save your life you will lose it?

He means that if you do everything in your power to save your life you are too focused on yourself and to gain your life is to trust in him.
