Detachment

Detachment is something which has been cropping up more and more this past year. Detachment is when we let go of any attachment to the outcome. I recently had to broach my manager about something at work, where a work colleague did something which was inappropriate, and even though he did apologise I felt I needed, upon reflection, go to my manager, more so to ensure that my name was in the clear due to something which he did. I really did not care about whether it was broached with him or not, as in this situation it was about me - the result went far better than I could have hoped, but I have found when we let go of any attachment to the outcome that is when miracles can occur.

When I come from a place of detachment, that is when miracles can occur. I am still human, and complete detachment is not always easy - eg with my mum's illness and knowing that she is dying little by little day by day is hard to see, as even though I hope she doesn't suffer too much, another part of me does not want to let her go - hey, she is my mum and our parents are supposed to be invincible, right ;).

When we have an attachment to the outcome that is when we very often can feel hurt, angry, rejected etc, however through detachment we can really come to a better understanding of what the lesson or message in a particular situation may be.
