Commitment without attachment

My head has been spinning lately with the launch of the website, planning all sorts of events, working with sponsors, etc. I can honestly say that I’ve never had this much on my plate. But gosh I love it, so not complaining. The only “problem” is that I’m trying so hard to practise detachment, and that is so hard to do when you’re as committed and devoted to something like I am about my work. Everyday I take a few minutes to be still, breathe and be grateful for all that I’m blessed with. And everyday I ask for guidance on how to let go and detach of the outcome while feeling so totally committed to the cause. Living in the moment is awesome, but I’m finding it harder and harder as the love intensifies and the passion deepens. Tough stuff I tell you. But this is my spiritual practice as much as it is my work, so it’s all part of the journey. Ok back to work now!
I can definitely relate to the feeling of how embracing deep passion with detachment is invigorating and challenging. Sometimes I find it helpful to remind myself that it’s not all up to me, that the energy of my intentions has a will of its own and will continue to work on my behalf as I do what’s best for me – and sometimes that means sitting in silence longer than my ego/action self wants me to… That said, it’s very hard to do that when our “to do” list is longer than our height and we’re passionately involved with our projects.
