You might be concerned about keeping hold of your resources today. This feeling of caution could be the result of a fear of loss, which could leave you feeling protective of what you have. Today you might keep in mind that you will face a loss of some sort in life and that you can only remain constant by learning detachment. Detachment can give you the perspective to notice that the more you try to protect and hold on to what is yours, the greater your feelings of grief will be should a loss occur. Perhaps you might want to reflect on the notion that nothing in life is permanent. By opening yourself up to this fact, you might realize that you already possess everything you need.

Learning to detach from our possessions allows us to assuage our feelings about the possibility of loss. When we become tight-fisted about our resources, we increase the amount of fear we have about facing potential scarcity. Our efforts go into holding onto something as opposed to appreciating what we have. This idea applies to everything in our lives--no matter what, changes in our situation will occur. Understanding this fact makes it easier to see that the ebb and flow of life is simply a natural process, which allows us to enjoy instead of guard the fruits of our labor. By detaching from your idea of permanence today, your concern about loss will gradually disappear and you will find a greater appreciation for all you possess in life.
