Let go of expectations and attachments from "summary" of Closer to Love by Vex King
Release the need for things to go a certain way. When we cling to expectations, we set ourselves up for disappointment. Life has a funny way of not always going according to plan. By holding onto rigid expectations, we create unnecessary stress and anxiety for ourselves. It's like trying to control the uncontrollable, a futile exercise that only leads to frustration. Attachments, on the other hand, bind us to things that may not serve us. Whether it's a person, a material possession, or a certain outcome, attachments can cloud our judgment and prevent us from seeing things clearly. We become so invested in a particular outcome that we lose sight of the bigger picture. It's like wearing blinders that narrow our perspective and limit our ability to adapt to new circumstances. When we let go of expectations and attachments, we free ourselves from the burden of trying to control everything. We learn to surrender to the flow of life, trusting that things will unfold as they are meant to. This doesn't mean we should stop dreaming or planning for the future. It simply means we should remain open to different possibilities and be willing to adjust our course when necessary. By releasing our grip on expectations and attachments, we open ourselves up to new experiences and opportunities. We become more resilient in the face of adversity, knowing that we can weather the storms that come our way. It's a practice of letting go of the need for things to be a certain way and embracing the beauty of uncertainty. In doing so, we find freedom and peace in the present moment.
