This is exactly how I try to see it. It's so hard though! It's really easy to fall into the trap of obsessing over the destination, rather than focusing on the present.
Non-attachment to outcomes is crucial if you want to pursue anything, especially things that are more creative. The result should indeed serve as a source of inspiration. You have to love the process to get there!
I'm working on trying to focus more on the possibility of what I want coming true rather than holding on to the idea that if I work hard I MUST achieve it.
Great piece, Ruchita! It really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!
