A to Z of Luck : D is for Detachment and also for Drive - in balance

Day 4 of my Luck project, where I look at the factors which helps us access the "genius of luck"

Today - the letter D, and Detachment.

Sometimes the most important way to get ahead is to let go. Sometimes, you need to go backwards to go forward. It's like trying to push through the bushes, after snagging your clothing. Sometimes, you just have to go back.

That doesn't mean discipline and drive aren't important - they are. It's just that both discipline and drive draw deep on energy reserves, which eventually become exhausted. Sometimes, letting go, taking a deep breath and stepping back helps us see the big picture, stop wasting time on unnecessary activities, recharge our batteries and move forward.
