MY question..

I'm in the middle of learning a very difficult lesson at the moment about detachment. There are things in my life that push me forward, give me motivation, inspiration and make me want to know/experience it SO much more. But is it okay to have so much passion existing in one thing? Should I be in a place where having it taken away from me makes me joyful, because it allows me to channel my creative energy in new ways? Should detachment be from EVERYTHING? Even the things we love and live for. Should we ever 'live for' something in particular, or be detached from all material things.
