There is a difference between
feeling gratitude and appreciation for something, and feeling attachment
to something. Appreciation and gratitude are states of pure love, while
attachment contains fear - fear of losing or not having what you are
attached to.
When it comes to something you want in your life,
appreciation and gratitude attracts, and attachment pushes away. If you
are feeling afraid that you will not get what you want, or losing what
you have, then you have attachment.
To remove the attachment, keep
shifting yourself into a state of appreciation and gratitude, until you
can feel that the fear has gone.
