It's a mess. But you know what? It's a beautiful mess that we can't and shouldn't try to avoid. - Danielle LaPorte

Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have.

Care more about being accurately and precisely who you are, than caring what someone might think about you.

Be daring enough to tell us — your customers, your fans, your people — about your deep desires and ambitions, because we?ll be the ones to help you fulfill them.

You don't have to be fearless. Just be sincere.

Detachment is hard on your heart — and it actually creates blocks to what you want. Non-attachment, on the other hand, is actually nourishing, and much easier to put into practice.

DETACHED is rigid; a bit chilly, a tad cranky; like an uptight intellectual, cut off from his/her heart. And here’s the thing, detachment is often a cover up for fear — fear of not getting what you want. Detachment is defending itself against disappointment — which is why it’s a bit bitchy.

There’s another way of wanting that’s both rational and faith-fuelled: Non-attachment.

NON-ATTACHMENT is open and spacious. It can hold your intense longing, and it can hold possibility. Non-attachment knows that some things take time, that you have to meet the universe half way, that free will is the guiding force, and that anything is possible.

As Michael Beckwith said to me, “Detached is, ‘I’m not playing anymore. I’m taking my ball and going home.’ Whereas non-attached is ‘I’m playing full-out, but I’m not attached to an outcome.’” Ya, THAT.
