Love everything. Be attached to nothing

 

Par Luminita Saviuc,

"Many people confuse their clingy, fearful and possessive behavior with love, failing to realize that love and attachment have nothing to do with each other. ⁣
⁣
Attachment comes from a place of fear—fear of losing everything you have; fear of not being able to re-create the life you are currently living; fear of losing the love of those close to you, fear of losing your social status, your wealth and material possessions, fear of dying, and so on, while love... well, real love is pure and kind, and its only interest is in loving. ⁣
⁣
Love has no interest in clinging, possessing or in keeping the people in our lives bound to us. Love only wants to love.

Love yourself. Love your life, your children, your spouse, your friends, your work and your living environment. Love and appreciate the many things, people and experiences that life sends your way, but don’t try to cling to them. Keep yourself, your relationships and your whole life free from bondage, and when the time comes to let go, when life asks you to let go, do so with grace.

Give up all your attachments and allow love to free you from the self-made prison you have been living in for so long. Allow love to run through every cell of your body and to govern all areas of your life.

Let love teach you that happiness will never come from possessing, from clinging or from holding on to impermanence, but only from letting go.

Let go of attachment and allow yourself to become one with love. Because love is who you are. Love is what you are made of—and what you are made for."
