Attachment to the Results

I think that many times we might be finding ourselves in that state of mind where nothing else matters but the result. Maybe this is a little bit streched as a way of putting it but still, there is some truth in that. As human beings we do have a tendecy to seek for results, for material outcomes or representations of our desires and dreams, and that might be why we keep pushing the idea of enjoying the moment to the actual moment when something gets accomplished or just gets done. “When I will have/ be/ get that, then I will be happy/ relieved/ good” etc, is just one of the ways of simply putting the attachment to the results in simple and easy to understand words.

For me it has been a complex process to be able to learn and let go of my own ways of being attached to the results and just putting my own happiness on hold until I would get to “that specific point” when a desired thing would take place, but then, at some point I did come to realize that this is not such a healthy way of interacting with the world, as it is actually the journey that is many times even better or more important than the final result. The final result might be something that we get anyway, but the way we choose to get there is supposed to be meaningful and filled with grace. At least, this is my own acceptence now of those ideas. I know that we might find it hard to not be attached to the outcome, but the thing is that we do not have to completely forget about it or anything like that, all we have to do is to just create some space in our minds to also be able to enjoy the present moment and unfoldings of the present moment as they take place in our lives.

By diving deeper into the present moment, we do become more connected with our true selves and more aware of our capabilities as well as our understandings of the world. The world is a wonderful place that deserves our full attention as amazing things unfold in our lives, and even when things are not so great, there is still always a lesson to be learnt in order to grown, heal ourselves and embrace a better outcome. In the end, it is all about enjoying each and every moment of our amazing lives as each moment brings its own contribution to the bigger picture and therefore to the desired result. So, lets just trust the process and enjoy the journey of life as it brings amazing things to unfold in our lives on a day to day basis!
