Achieving without attachment
Posted by taylor | Under Goal Setting, happiness Thursday Sep 1, 2011Achieving without attachment
Interesting for me as I see from afar my nephew grow up. Very similar to me and it is very easy to want to counsel/offer opinion on his journey. One thing I have noticed is linked to the mechanisms we have put in place as a capitalist society that breed competitiveness and a significant attachment to success or failure of successful outcomes. What is the issue with this? If your happiness is determined by outcomes, you are effectively settling for an up and down existence, with a heavy reliance on external factors out of your control.
Does this mean we should all stop trying to do our best and achieve. Absolutely not, I fully endorse giving 100% to any effort you make and being fully committed, but that in itself is the definition of success. The outcome is outcome, sometimes as you would like, sometimes not. It is what it is, but if you attach to the outcomes and this controls your life, you are in for a bumpy ride…
