Attachment is an unconscious process that occurs when our thoughts,
having formed an image of someone or something, then embrace this
image as the thing itself we have imagined. We unknowingly derive a
sense of "I" from each mental or emotional image thus inwardly
considered, and it is this sense of self that sits at the root of
attachment -- the punishment of being identified. Understanding this
inner dynamic helps us see why letting go is so difficult, because it
is never the thing, but our own prized sense of self, that must be
released.
Don't be afraid to see when something doesn't work. Learn to be
sensitive and to listen to the inner signals that try to tell you
when something isn't working. Inner aching and unseen attachments go
hand in hand. You already know some of these signals such as …
frustration and resentment. The presence of these emotional troubles
aren't trying to tell you that you can't succeed, only that the road
you've insisted upon taking so far doesn't lead where you want.
Learning to admit when something isn't working is the same as
teaching yourself what will.
