No attachment to the outcome

No attachment to the outcome?
What?!
That was one of the concepts that I found hard to swallow. How does one decide what they want, and fully expect it, without being attached to the outcome?
It's my goal. I'm striving for it. Of course I'm attached.

It took a while to absorb the underpinnings…
YOU don’t create the outcome. You don’t strive for it.
You allow the universe to create the outcome. It is a gift. As such, you don’t really own it, and you have nothing to lose. You are so busy following the interesting and abundant path of life that you are surprised, thrilled, appreciative, when the gift does show up.

Similar to walking in the woods and finding blueberries.
