Let go of attachment to outcomes from "summary" of Inner Engineering by Sadhguru
This concept is not about giving up on your goals or ambitions. It is not about becoming passive or indifferent towards life. It is about understanding that you can only control your actions, not the results of those actions. When you are attached to a particular outcome, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. You are putting conditions on your happiness, saying, "I will be happy only if this specific thing happens." But life doesn't always go according to our plans. Things may not turn out the way we want them to, no matter how hard we try. When we are too attached to a particular outcome, we become anxious and stressed. We are constantly worried about whether things will work out as we hoped. We are living in the future, not in the present moment. And in doing so, we miss out on the beauty and joy of what is happening right now. We are so focused on the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey. We are so fixated on the end result that we overlook the process itself. We are so consumed by the goal that we neglect the present moment. When we let go of attachment to outcomes, we free ourselves from this cycle of expectation and disappointment. We learn to accept whatever comes our way with grace and equanimity. We learn to trust in the intelligence of life, knowing that whatever happens is for our highest good. We learn to embrace uncertainty, knowing that it is a natural part of life. We learn to be fully present in each moment, knowing that this is where true fulfillment lies. When we let go of attachment to outcomes, we open ourselves up to infinite possibilities. We allow life to unfold in its own mysterious way. We surrender to the flow of existence, knowing that we are part of something much greater than ourselves. We release the need to control every aspect of our lives, trusting that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. We find peace in knowing that we are not in charge of the universe, that there is a greater force at play. We let go of the illusion of control, realizing that it is an illusion that causes us so much suffering. We surrender to the wisdom of life, knowing that it always knows what is best for us. And in doing so, we find a profound sense of freedom and joy.
