How can you have goals, which are so important to you and yet be detached from them?

To achieve detachment three key things would help:

1. Ensure your goals are larger than self. If goals are too self-centred they bring an element of fear and attachment that takes away from creativity, courage, and conviction.

2. Savour the journey – the joy of achieving goals is both in the journey and in the accomplishment.

3. You can own the goals but do not let the goals own you. To overcome detachment be the master of your goals, not the servant!
