Lead Weight Burdens

 If life has to be a certain way for it to be okay, it’s as if a lead weight is being carried around; needing life a certain way creates the burden of having to make constant adjustments…

Nobody knows what this life has in store for them between the time you’re born and when it ends. Today you can be going along with what’s considered the perfect life and in an instant that can change, and it will for some. Some event is occurring right now as I’m writing this that’s turning someone’s life upside down. Moments ago it may have been just the way it was wanted, but now all that has changed. So the point of this writing is it will hopefully allow you to take a moment to reflect on carrying around a lead weight of needing life to be a certain way for it to be considered okay and how when it changes there’s discontentment.

So much time is spent carrying the lead weight of trying to maintain a certain existence. When the moment does come that it changes, will you be ready for it or will the change be resisted and hence will you allow the change to be a lead weight burden? Life is life, and without a moments notice it can change and even end; this occurs all the time. Ask yourself, what are you holding onto that you think is so important? If your life ended right now everything you‘re holding onto will be let go of like it or not. It all goes away, none of it matters whatsoever. From concern for children, parents, the state of the world, your favorite team, jobs, and so on so why hold on to it. So let go if you want to be free or not and remain attached to the lead weight of needing life to be a certain way; creating the burden of having to make constant adjustments…
