The Beauty of Life: When We Are Attached to Nothing and Connected to Everything

If you find yourself attached to anything, you won’t be able to experience the beauty of life because you’ll be too busy thinking about what you are missing out on or what you don’t have. That may sound harsh, but it’s true; when we truly believe that life and everything in it is beautiful in its own way, and that we can always find something new, the little worries in our mind begin to dissolve away.

Introducing the concept

It’s a common misconception that life is more beautiful when we’re attached to something. This is not true. Our lives are most beautiful when we are unattached, free, content with what we have, and connected to everything.
It’s impossible to be content with what we have if we’re attached to anything in particular. If you think about it, being attached means you’ll always crave for something else that the attachment doesn’t provide for you. And if you don’t have the attachment then your life will be full of joy and wonder because all there is for you is everything around you, which includes people who love you unconditionally no matter what happens in your life.

What does it mean to be attached to nothing?

It is the beauty of life when we are attached to nothing. It is the detachment from the material world, the attachment to our spiritual nature. It is a shift in perspective that allows us to see all things as they really are–as pure energy vibrating at different frequencies. To be unattached is not a state we enter into by choice; it is one that happens automatically when we let go of attachments, though it can be hard work at times.
It’s hard work because many people are attached to their jobs, or their homes, or their families, or their possessions. The trouble with these attachments is that they create an illusion–they make you think you need them in order to survive.

The benefits of being attached to nothing

This quote from the Tao Te Ching sums up the benefits of being unattached. If we are not hooked onto anything, then we can be connected to everything. This means that there will be no fear or anger in our lives, because these emotions come from attaching ourselves to things that can hurt us. Plus, by being unattached, we can fully enjoy the present moment and take advantage of opportunities when they arise.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

How can we achieve this state of being?

This state can be achieved by following the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, which teaches that we should live in the moment. In other words, we should not let our minds dwell on past unpleasant events or become anxious about future uncertainties. Instead, we should focus on what is happening right now. By living mindfully, we are able to appreciate each moment for what it is worth. For example, when eating an apple for lunch, you might notice its shape, weight, taste and color. This type of awareness trains us to be more present in our lives because it helps keep us from getting stuck in past worries or future anxieties.
