Detachment
By Joy Abrams

The word detachment sounds cold and harsh and yet it is one of the highest lessons that all of us need to go through in our lives. There is not one of us that will leave this world without learning this lesson. We spend our lives attaching to our loved ones and friends and get a great deal of satisfaction and support from these relationships and oftentimes they affect our lives in a profound way.

People come into our lives and somehow we know that they were meant to be there and perhaps we knew them from another time and another place. You know from the very moment that you lock eyes with them that they are going to affect your life and your thinking.

Sometimes things happen at the time that seem so unfair and painful but you later realize that without these things you would never have realized your potential strength, will power, or great power to love and overcome all adversity…

Things are sometimes preordained, as I believe that nothing happens by chance. Illness loss and pain all occur to test the limits of your soul and cause great soul growth.
