Open to Everything, Attached to Nothing
Life is a beautiful thing; you never know where it’ll take you. Maybe you live out your dreams whatever they may be. Or maybe you settle down and live comfortably and don’t take the risks you always thought you would. Either way, whatever makes you happy is the right choice. But in life we have choices, some comfortable and some uncomfortable. I once heard this quote, “Open to everything, attached to nothing.” Every time I hear this, I think about risk taking. I used to only do things that made me comfortable and never took chances. But in the last few years I’ve opened my mind to trying new things. This quote can be left for interpretation but today I want to give you my two sense on why this quote is so important to me.
In life, I think a person needs to take risks. Get out of their comfort zone and test the waters on new experiences and feelings. When I hear, “open to everything,” I think about trying new things. I think about not turning down opportunities that are put in front of me even if they don’t seem like the perfect opportunity. You never know what an opportunity could lead too. I think about “open to everything” as an opportunity to grow and find new things in life to enjoy or to find new experiences to grow my brand, knowledge, or relationship. Taking risks can be scary, but living life without being scared means theres a lot left out there for you to try.
“Attached to nothing,” in my mind means means not letting something become too big of a deal in your life. Everything comes and goes in life and if your too attached to things they become hard to let go and its harder to grow when you're always worrying about what you used to have, or what you're missing. In life you have what you have at the current moment your in. Don’t compare yourself to situations you see online because that isn’t your life. Sure, you can dream to have those things, but when accepting you have your own life and there is nothing greater than living your life to the way your meant to, I think that’s the ultimate grail of life. Having the freedom in your head to know where you are is exactly where you need to be. There’s nothing greater than that.
“Open to everything, attached to nothing,” could be a guiding tool to help you try new things in life and test the waters when you're on a journey of growth. Taking risks is an opportunity we have in life. If your up to it, take the risks and continue to grow. The world is a judgement free zone when you allow it to be.
Risk are good
Growing is good
Uncomfortable is good
