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-centered they bring an element of fear and attachment that takes away from creativity, courage, and conviction.
2. Savor 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. In other words be the master of your goals, not the servant!
Detachment is achieved when you have goals that are larger than self and whose pursuit brings you joy!
