In everyone's life, there are areas where letting go proves difficult. Some cling to an old relationship, some to a job, some to a particular place of residence, and others to many different things. Often, we have no clue what fuels these attachments, even though they can sour our lives and defy all logic. In most cases we don’t even realize that we still haven’t let go of something until it becomes so obvious that it stares us right in the face. When we reach the point where denying our attachment becomes futile, we begin to ponder its cause. Unfortunately, the human psyche follows a different logic than our usual everyday reasoning, so we often only scratch the surface of the underlying causes.
We aren’t entirely the architects of our lives no matter what popular culture would like us to believe.
