You know the phrase, "The grass is always greener on the other side,"? It describes a person's perception of the world and how it always seems as if others have it easier or better than them. It's not a nice feeling, but that's exactly how life will feel if you allow yourself to become attached to success. I should know because I've been in that place. I saw other people succeed and thought myself less than and started to think maybe it just wasn't in the cards for me.
All of that changed when I adopted a mindset of detachment. Not only did I start attracting success like a magnet, but I was also happier than I'd been in years and impossibly lighter. But why?
To understand the full power of detachment, you need to understand the limitations of its counterpart.
Attachment is the belief you are only as good as your results, painting everyone's world, except your own, a rich green. Living in such a mindset is restrictive because it boasts a narrative of blame that you're "not good enough" when you don't achieve the results you want. Quicker than you realize that blame can shift onto others in the form of resentment. This toxic narrative won't ever serve you and it most certainly won't change the circumstances you find yourself in.
Enter the mindset of detachment.
Contrary to what many may assume, detachment doesn't mean you should own nothing you do. It simply means nothing should own you.
Think of detachment as a shield between your worth and the results of your goals or expectations. When you fail to meet the latter, the fact no longer negatively impacts the way you feel about yourself because the two are no longer inextricably tied together. Another massive perk of releasing yourself from an attachment to success? You shrug off the fear of failure.
This is where the magic magnetism begins to manifest, because without fear and attachment to hold you back anything is possible. Your drive and motivation will explode alongside your creativity and resourcefulness. And should you misstep on the way to your goal, you will see the moment as a lesson and an opportunity to grow rather than let self-doubt sink in.
The power of detachment is real and can be yours with a simple mindset shift that empowers you to embrace what is already true: you are in complete control of the meaning you give the events of your life, both bad and good.
