I don't like getting attached to things I know they won't last

I don't like getting attached to things I know they won't last.

I don't like getting attached to people I know they're not going to stay.

I don't like getting attached to places I know they're going to leave.

I don't like getting attached to ideas I know they're not going to work.

Whatever it might be, either relationships or jobs or houses or even cities, which are all temporary in one way or another. Things you can get attached to, because you think they'll bring you happiness. What's the point in that? Why waste energy on things that aren't permanent?

I try all my best to flee from things I know that won't last long. Because I don't want to ever feel heartbroken or unhappy. That is why when I want to get things, I get ones with good quality. That is why Im always cautious when making friends, so I can be friends with one that will last forever.

And yet at the same time, I'm deeply attached to all of these things. Somehow, my heart has a weak spot for the moment of feeling known by someone else. Maybe it's because it's a feeling that I'll never really be able to experience. Maybe it's because it's one of the ways that we can think about the divine within everybody else.

And maybe that's just it: maybe all of this is just a way of telling myself that there is something beyond these weak spots, something beyond these moments now. Maybe all this is just a way of me telling myself that there is more than the pain of existence. That there is some sort of goodness beyond the mundane machinations of daily life, and that this goodness might show itself to us in unexpected ways, in sudden gestures and mere moments of connection and grace.

There are so many things that we associate with material things like "value", "importance", or "lastingness". It's hard for us to accept that some things aren't permanent, like relationships, but it's the truth.

Why waste energy on things that aren't permanent? Instead, focus your energy on developing and becoming the type of person that doesn't give up.

The best moments of your life are the ones that are permanent. The ones that will have an effect on the rest of your life. You are here to live your best story and make your mark, you're here to create something, to leave a legacy, to build a home for future generations. Your life is made up of small moments and big ones, but it is made up of permanent ones.

You will make mistakes, you will be affected by the actions of others, and you will learn from all of these. In time, however, you will come to realize that these things don't matter. When you look back on your life, you'll see that these things were just bumps in the road. When you look back on your story, you'll see that's it's beautiful and it's yours.

When we choose what we value in our lives, how we spend our time and how we interact with others, we make decisions that define who we are as human beings. When we waste our energy on things that aren't permanent, we truly lose the only one thing we have control over: ourselves.

So don't waste your energy on things that aren't permanent.
