Detachment is the practice of separating oneself from the outcomes of actions, which is often misunderstood as apathy. Instead, it empowers individuals to concentrate on the actions they can take in the present moment. This approach is described as a superpower, emphasizing that the true control one has is over their next action, rather than external factors or the results of their efforts. Focusing on actionable steps rather than worrying about future outcomes enables deeper commitment and effectiveness in tasks at hand.
