Secrets for Success and Inner Peace
“Releasing Your Attachments”
This first secret has two components: (1) a mind that is open to
everything, and (2) a mind that is attached to nothing. Your attachments
are the source of all your problems. The need to be right, to possess
someone or something, to win at all costs, to be viewed by others as
superior—these are all attachments. The open mind resists these attachments
and consequently experiences inner peace and success.
To release attachments, you have to make a shift in how you view
yourself. If your primary identification is with your body and your
possessions, your ego is the dominant force in your life. If you can tame
your ego sufficiently, you’ll call upon your spirit to be the guiding
force in your life. As a spiritual being, you can observe your body and
be a compassionate witness to your existence. Your spiritual aspect sees
the folly of attachments because your spiritual self is an infinite soul.
Nothing can make you happy or successful. These are inner constructs that
you bring to your world, rather than what you receive from it.
If you think peaceful thoughts, you’ll feel peaceful emotions, and that’s
what you’ll bring to every life situation.
