I had an enjoyable chat late last night on the nature many of us have on having an attachment to an outcome in parts of our lives.
What I mean is that sometimes when we want to have something in our lives, a goal if you like, we become attached to the attainment of that thing. That is, we feel that it means something about us if we get that thing, or often worse it means something bad about us if we don't get that thing.
Anyway, the chat last night was about it being OK to want to want to create things in ours lives, only it's good to do this from the point of view of enjoying the process of going for that thing, living in that moment as you do, but accepting that the attainment or not of the thing doesn't actually reflect upon us apart from in our own heads.
Without wishing to sound to Eastern, it's the journey and what we learn upon it that is worthy of taking.
So the point of todays title, investment vs involvement, see how you get on with creating something for yourself while being 100% involved in the process yet having 0% investment in the outcome. You may find yourself having fun.

Anyone who's met me will know I can talk. Funnily enough this isn't always so obvious when I'm in a social setting but I'll leave the analysing of that for now. I'm putting some of these meanderings down here so that you can to listen if you wish. Subjects will vary from philosophical thoughts to recipe ideas to health and psychology. Say hello sometime and please send your thoughts if you get the urge, to talk of course.
