Not Attached To Outcome.
What would happen if we evaluated our achievements based on the number of times we Attempted something and not the Outcome of the attempt?
For me, it would completely remove that sick, disappointed, why-bother-anyway feeling that I have experienced over and over again when I have a dream, I’ve worked very hard toward making it a reality, finally worked up the courage to give it wings only to see it completely crash and burn on take off. I’ve recently discovered that I measure the entire experience by one segment of the process, the Outcome. Granted, Outcome is the purpose of the whole process to begin with but that’s just my point. What if we changed the purpose to the Attempt part of the process; the moment when we put wings to the Dream, say it out loud, release it and move in a direction toward it. What if we let go of the Outcome and give that part of the process to God? I can only imagine how much more I might accomplish even by accident.
I would risk so much more than I do now. (Ok, I’m scaring myself.)
Paradigm Shift - Release the Outcome. I am going full-tilt NATO, Not Attached To Outcome.
