​When I was younger, I read this book titled "Do Hard Things". And it was a book about rebelling against low expectations. It was a book for young people.

​I know I'm still young. But when I was younger, I feel like I didn't care about what other people expected of me. There was a time in my life before I had a phone that I spent about an hour in God's word a day.

​This summer I've had morning devotions with my phone. And let me tell you something it wasn't the same as it was a few years ago. (If you are a young person let me tell you something: Connect with God while you are still young, and don't allow your phone and social media to distract you.)

​I just kind of don't care what people expected me and I be my own self and that makes me different. Most of the time I go beyond and above what people expect of me. I feel like I've been like the easiest child to raise.

​But you know there are times in life when I don't feel like rebelling against low expectations. There are times when I don't feel like going above and beyond. There are times when I don't feel like having daily Bible study.

​Higher expectations of me can't really push me to do more and achieve more. But if you just have low expectations for me, I may just settle into them. Working hard achieving more instead of the Bible daily takes effort. Why would I want to put effort into ​those things if you don't expect me to?

​So, I'm just begging you. Please don't have low expectations of young people. (And don't have annoyingly high expectations. I know teens can be hard to please!)

Attachment.
    Is something neither good or bad. It's what you are attached to that can be good or bad. Attachment is a very healthy and necessary part of life.
Attachment. Un-attachment.
     God made us with the ability and the need to get attached to things and people. Because we have both the ability and the need to get attached to things or people. We will. The hard part comes when it is time to get unattached. Un-attaching yourself from things can be very difficult and it is a very emotional thing to do.
Your attachment to one thing or person can affect your attachment to another thing a person. And you're unattachment can affect how you get attached to people or things in the future. 
Attachment Health
I am not a relationship professional, but here are some tips:

1. Relationships are important and they matter. So, take time and make time for relationships.
2. Try to be understanding of the other person.

What about tips for attachment to things:

1. Things are temporary. People are eternal. Don't get too upset when you lose something. Don't get too attached to something while you have it.
2. If you can't go without some "thing" for a while maybe you are too attached to it.

Attachment Scheduling.
   Maybe I am taking it too far when I say that you can get attached to things in your schedule. But I know I don't feel right if I don't start my day with a little Bible study. Whether it is attachment to something in your schedule or something that is a part of your daily routine. I encourage you to think about it.
Is there something you should remove from your schedule?
Is there something you should add to your schedule? 
Do you find your days are busy and hectic?
Scheduling and living a simpler life is a whole other topic.
Attachment Theory.
I just love the two words: attachment theory. So of course I had to Google it and write about it. The first sentence on Wikipedia states: "Attachment theory is a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory concerning relationships between humans." I know that throughout this piece I have been using a lot of big words. I might have made attachment sound like a very impersonal thing. But in reality it is a very personal thing. And not only that it is a very emotional thing.

Connection is a present or current attachment.
Attachment can be spiritual, emotional or physical.
