"The most dangerous attachment is that which you don’t realize you have.
And the root of suffering is attachment — to a job, a person, a way things are “supposed to be.” Things rarely, if ever, pan out the way we imagine they will. The more we compulsively, irrationally predict and decide what absolutely must be, the more we set ourselves up to become our own torture-inducing machines.
Letting go doesn’t leave you in a meaningless void. It’s how you step out of your own way. It’s how you permit things that are better than you could have imagined for yourself to start coming into your life.
A few of these are tough pills to swallow. They aren’t pleasant and inspiring. They are, however, sugar-free truths. They are things we all must reconcile within ourselves eventually, it just matters when you decide to: now, at your own discretion, or later, when you have no other choice."
