It is tempting to get attached to a hoped for outcome. To look down the road to the other side of a conversation, and anticipate it going exactly as we have planned. And if, and often when, it doesn’t we are disappointed in ourselves, the others involved, and the entire interaction.
In getting attached to the outcome we forget that what is truly important is to show up fully, speak truthfully, listen well, and be the kind of person we want to be throughout.
The rest is out of our hands.
