Acceptance is the opposite of attachment

Attachment is the root of all suffering.

Gautama Buddha

If we can learn to accept, we can learn to forgo our attachments.

All we have is here, now, self.

Everything else is superfluous. Everything else is redundant cause for concern. Everything else is attachment.

Make it acceptance.
