Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have all the highs in life and skip the lows? What if we just weren’t attached to anyone?
I get it, attachment leads to suffering. And, honestly, I’m okay with that.
I am attached to my kids, Ron, my family and friends.
I am here to love deeply with my whole heart, no holding back for fear that I might suffer if I lose them.
When I make the choice to be “all in” and love big, I also accept that disappointment and sadness may be part of the deal.
For me, the payoff of deep connection is where all of the juice of life is and worth the potential pain.
I didn’t come here to give up on myself or anyone else.
I didn’t come here to hold back and play it safe so I don’t get my heart broken.
When I signed up for this life, I checked the boxes for “passion” and “connection”…I also checked the box for “surprises”.
As long as we are conscious about our choice to be attached and accept that sometimes it’s going to hurt, then we can feel empowered rather than feel like a victim.
Take a minute to write down the package that you signed up for…and what you are willing to accept that comes with that?
Knowing that I signed up for the deluxe package, makes me feel totally alive and radiant!
You always pack it very nice, Tam! I mean in terms of the point, words and everything. I liked all of these.
You are a brilliant writer. (And course, radiant too.)
