My mom taught me this:
It is important to realize "that our nostalgia for wanting to stay in a protected, limited, petty world is insane. Once you begin to get the feeling of how big the world is and how vast our potential for experiencing life is, then you really begin to understand renunciation." Pema Chodron
Renunciation: Giving up, letting go of suffering, being in the moment, a willigness to let the story line our thinking fabricates dissipate: letting go of the thoughts that generate worry, lust, desire or an attempt to control and manipulate
