Making Life a Burden

If life has to be a certain way for it to be okay, it’s as if a heavy weight is being carried around as needing life a certain way creates the burden of having to constantly troubleshoot it.

Nobody knows what this life has in store for them between the time they are 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 someone. Someone is experiencing a turn of events right now as I’m writing this that’s turning their life upside down. Moments ago it may have been just the way that it was wanted, but now all that has changed. The point of this writing is to hopefully allow you to take a moment to reflect on life needing to be a certain way for it to be considered okay and how when it changes discontentment arises.

So much time is wasted trying to maintain a certain existence. When the moment comes when life changes, will you be ready for it or the change will be resisted and hence will you allow the change to create a burden? Life is life and without a moments notice it can change and even end, and this is occurring right now for someone. The question to ask yourself is what are you holding onto that you think is so important? If life ended right now, like it or not everything you are holding onto will be let go of. It all goes away, none of it matters, from concerns for children, parents, the state of the world, your favorite team, jobs, and so on. Why is it being held onto? Letting go can happen now and liberation will follow or not and you will remain attached to the heavy weight of needing life to be a certain way, creating the burden of having to constantly troubleshoot it.
