Detached, getting along better, but in limbo....

[Surfer]

Detachment - process the emotions and stay focused on the big goals. This is what detaching looks like.

I like this reference - its kind of 'stay sufficiently focussed not to let the actions or works of others to move you from your longer terms goals'. That I like - I can make it work with my stoic immovable side whilst employing gentle, kindness. I see your point on happiness being a separate matter also and agree.

Thank you.
