Don’t attach to anything

Nothing and nobody is definite.

That’s challenging to your ego right?

Your ego won’t let you believe that there is no definitive ANYTHING.

Your ego wants to maintain an element of CONTROL; that attachment stems from there.

So you see, once you realise it’s not you whose attached and it’s really your ego - it can become increasingly easy to let go.

While the ego is a beautiful entity, built-in to your system to help you protect yourself and ultimately thrive;

It’s important to remember to control it and not let it be in control of you.

The ego cannot and should not handle that much control.

Don’t give away your power!

Breathe easy beloved souls

You’re doing fine.
