Let Go

Imagine if you will that you have to deliver a 10 pound bag of something.. let's go with potatoes to your friend who lives ten miles away. The only way you can get there is by walking. That's not bad. You'll get a nice walk. After all, it's only 10 pounds. You start walking. After about a mile, your arms start to get tired. You have a bag on your back, so you put the potatoes in your bag to give your arms a break. After another mile, you continue to get tired, but it's not bad. You keep going. After the third mile, your shoulders start to heart. Another mile goes by, and now your back is hurting. The bag feels so heavy. You still have six miles to go. The thought of it is awful. You continue on. By the time you get to your ninth mile, your shoulders, your back, your neck, your legs, and your feet all are sore. You don't think you can take another step. Your feet drag as you continue on. That last mile is agonizing. You don't think you'll make it all because that 10 pound bag of potatoes feels like it's about 100 pounds. 

What is the point of this story? 
People carry burdens every day. Some are tiny and some are big. Some people hold on to these burdens, and they don't get rid of them. As time goes on, they get bigger and bigger and harder to deal with. It's just like the 10 pound bag of potatoes. The longer you hold onto something, the heavier it gets and the more it can hurt. 

So, take some time to reevaluate your life and the problems you carry. Start to let them go. Don't let them become bigger than they need to and drag you down. 

Peace.Love.Happiness.
