Appreciating what matter to us in life without attachment

Most of the time we don't really know what matter to us in life until the moment we lost something that we didn't realize it matters to us very much, or at the moment 'death' is approaching.

If we know what matter to us in life, and what doesn't matter, we can have a clear direction of life and make all decisions without any doubt or regret.

We can put aside or go beyond many difficulties/challenges/fear because what matter to us in life is more important than anything else, but it also could lead us to the biggest fear/aversion towards losing what matters most to us.

That biggest fear towards losing what matters most to us in life can be overcome by being able to appreciate everything that matter to us in life in this present moment without attachment/clinging, which allows us to be able to let go what matter to us in peace, when impermanence strikes.

Many people would say that 'appreciation without attachment' is easy to say but difficult to do.

That's why we need 'practice'/'training' and certain degrees of 'patience'/'perseverance'/'determination'/'non-judgment'/'non-comparison'/'non-expectation'.

It takes time for the mind to be 'trained' to be unattached towards all the names and forms, and be undetermined/undisturbed by the truth of impermanence and selflessness, and things that are not necessarily the way that we would like it to be, and be able to let go everything in peace.

'Non-attachment' manifest as it is, naturally/effortlessly/intentionlessly, when the mind is free from ignorance, knowing the truth of impermanence and selflessness.

It's okay that there are things that matter to us more than some other things and there are things that don't matter at all to us, despite that we would more likely hearing many people say that everything matters. As surviving life is already challenging enough for many people. Sometimes we need to let go certain things to allow the mind/the thinking faculty to maintain certain degrees of sanity and clarity.

In the end, everything is equally matters and doesn't matter at the same time upon realization of selflessness.

It's good that human beings have the loving kindness for helping and supporting one another, but it's okay that there are times we can't help, or we can't help as much as we would like it to be. We also need to allow everyone to learn how to look after themselves and take responsibility for their desires/actions and the consequences of their desires/actions.

Meanwhile some people don't mind being attached strongly onto everything and suffering for the loss of what matter to them very much, or suffering for the things that are not necessarily the way that they would like it to be, as they think and believe that "That's life and life should be like that." And that's their freedom of thinking/feeling/action/reaction.

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
