What is “Attachment”?
“If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.” — Epicurus, ancient Greek philosopher
Key Points:
- The more Attached you are to an idea, the more you limit your flexibility and reduce your chances of finding a better way.
- Twists in life are bound to happen. It’s smart to live to fight another day.
- Acceptance means applying the concept of Sunk Costs to yourself.
- The way to deal with Attachment is to accept that your idea is no longer feasible.
- Accept what happened and focus on ways to make it better.
Questions for Consideration:
- How attached are you to a certain vision of how you want life to be?
- Is it useful in driving you forward, or is it limiting your flexibility?
