Some of life's greatest hurts are from being too attached to someone, something, or some idea. Even if we think it's good for us. Until we are able to create healthy boundaries, strengthen our relationship with ourselves and others, realize our worth, and accept that no material thing can truly satisfy us, we will continue to go into cycles of loneliness, self-pity, jealousy, comparison, and selfishness. What are you too attached to? Does it push you forward or does it hold you back? Enjoyed this content?
