“Do you want to know what my secret is?”
©Jim Dreaver, 2005
Release Attachment To Outcomes
A fear that many people have is that if they don’t hold tightly to
their goals and dreams and think about them all day long, they won’t
accomplish them. Yet it is the very attachment to outcomes, to getting
a specific result, that sets the stage for anxiety, the fear that you
won’t achieve what you want. As you learn to release the attachment,
new creative energies—as well as feelings of courage and confidence—
spring forth, and actually move you closer to your objectives.
Worrying about the future is one of the main causes of stress in our
lives. It is a habit that just perpetuates fear, the uncomfortable
feeling that we aren’t enough as we are. It keeps us stuck in the
belief that such-and-such must happen if we are going to be happy, and
that if it doesn’t, our lives will be miserable.

I think this is right -- being detached is not the same as being inactive.
