Peace and Rich's blessings. I am Michael B. This is the life right this present moment.

This is the life question of the week. Gary's from Brooklyn.

Gary asked this question. I heard you mention how it's fine to have desires,

but to be unattached to the outcome of our activities instead engage it from a place of awareness of being as a

reflection of the divine. I appreciate this and apply, but at a basic level, isn't everything

we do is to live a better life? Isn't wanting to live a better life the same as being attached

to an outcome? No. There's an instinct that becomes intuition within us for us to be a greater version of ourself.

It's an inner desire to wake up and actually allow for the full potential within us to be activated.

the idea is you are to walk in the direction of your goal and particular accomplishments that

you want, but you can't be attached to certain outcomes because if you attach to a particular

outcome of a particular goal, then you are limiting

how that goal is going to come into manifestation. There are many ways that something can happen

in your life. But if you are attached to a particular way of that particular outcome, you block

the infinite amount of ways by which you can come into your life.
