The most exhausting way to live is in constant resistance to what is. Trying to make people love you who aren’t capable of it. Attempting to fit into spaces that weren’t designed for you. Pushing for results on timelines that don’t align with natural rhythms.
What’s meant for you will never require you to chase it down in fear. It won’t keep you up at night wondering if you’re enough. It won’t ask you to perform, to fight, or to force. It will arrive without friction because it was never outside of you to begin with.
But ease doesn’t always mean instant. It means aligned. And that alignment often begins with unlearning what you’ve believed you needed to be happy.
Attachment tells us that unless we have this job, partner, opportunity, and outcome, we’ll never be fulfilled. It convinces us to grip tightly to what we have out of fear that it might slip away. It whispers that peace is always somewhere else, just beyond our reach.
The truth is simpler and more liberating. Happiness isn’t found in having. It’s found in presence. In the ability to hold things loosely and love them fully. In knowing you can enjoy life’s beauty without clinging to it for your identity.
Non-attachment isn’t detachment. It’s the deepest form of trust. It says, “I honour what flows into my life, and I bless what leaves.” It doesn’t mean you stop caring; it means you stop controlling, and being controlled—by external circumstances, events, and objects. It’s the peace of knowing that what’s meant for you will recognize you effortlessly. And what isn’t, no matter how tightly you grip it, will never feel secure.
As your attachments loosen, your life opens. You become lighter, freer, and less reactive. You begin to enjoy what you have without fearing its loss. And, that’s where joy lives. Not in the chase, but in the subtle confidence that you are whole either way.
Let go, not because you don’t care, but because you finally do. Enough to trust the flow. Enough to come home to yourself.
