I Would Like to Release an Attachment - Help Appreciated

Recently I was offered a very good job in a location I have wanted to be in for a while now. I have gone through 2 interviews, and was told I was a top candidate. I'll likely get this job, but there are some technical issues holding things up. I won't go into detail about those as they are not relevant to this thread other than the fact that I feel a bit frustrated about them.

I do not like this feeling of being emotionally attached to this job, or most things in general. I don't like feeling needy because it makes me feel powerless like I'm begging, not to mention makes me susceptible to manipulation.

I would appreciate any help in regards to releasing this attachment, by whatever means. If it works out, I want to be happy, but I want to feel in control regardless of what happens.

Ah, that well-known problem of wanting to be in control.

The idea that we are in control gives us a sense of security and certainty in our lives.

And yet we have very little control over most aspects of our lives. We may think we have life sorted but then something happens and the rug is pulled out from under our feet. Which leaves us feeling powerless. We can see this every time there is a natural disaster.

Maybe the sense of being truly powerful does not come from having everything under control but rather from being comfortable with uncertainty. We do all we can and then the rest is out of our control. We can only allow things to turn out as they will.

Peace

Reading this I wondered if the perspective in the first thought are important and everything else is logic supporting what one wants. I know I would tend do this by saying if certain things or conditions were different I would do it, if everything were (100%) the way I want it. For instances a friend once had an opportunity they questioned and in the end it was they did not wish to leave family and friends and the neighborhood. That was the nature of the opportunity. It also required change and giving up some thing. The real attachment laid in other places and logic was in other reasons. The decision was already made. I know I use to spend weeks trying to change my mind with logic.
