“Be committed, not attached; but more importantly, know the difference.”
—Anonymous
The difference between being committed vs. being attached is trust.
Trust enables you to dream big, set goals, work toward your goals, and stay open to more than one outcome. Trust enables you to ask “what did I learn?”, “how did I grow?” when things don’t go as you planned.
Commit to taking the action needed to bring your goals to life, but don’t become attached to a specific outcome. When we are attached to a specific outcome, we try to control the process rather than trust the process. Trust will enable you to keep your mind focused and your heart open to possibilities as you pursue your goals. The true power of commitment lies in your ability to make decisions, act on your decisions, and trust the process of bringing your goals to life.
In your career, commitment means taking consistent action, while trust keeps you open to opportunities that may unfold differently than planned.
