The law of detachment is rarely explained properly. To me it’s becoming okay with any outcome. Lots of people seem to think it means not caring or pretending something doesn’t matter. If you constantly tell yourself you don’t care surely you will attract careless people or things?
I think a lot of people have become okay with being complacent and just expecting things to fall into place for them if they do a few affirmations or drink some moon water. Action is at the core of any form of manifestation and this is something I constantly see being disregarded.
There is nothing wrong with going after what you want and potentially experiencing failure as a result of that. It is better to fail and have tried than not try at all. We are hardwired to create things as a species, not just to wait for those things to create themselves.
By my logic, if it is true that we attract what we are, I would rather chase and attract people that also want to chase and build something for themselves, than people that just wait around for things to happen to them.
