Let go of the things that are weighing you down.
If you will take life too seriously. Life itself will be a burden for you to carry. Life isn’t about caring too much about everything. While it does mean paying attention a little bit. But if you hold onto something too much, it will end up hurting you. Take it lightly and the burden of it won’t feel like a burden.
If it would have been a burden then everybody else would have been carrying it with the same pressure. But some people carry it so elegantly that it doesn’t look like they are living one of the most difficult lives.
And while we are sitting at our couch, doing nothing. We complain that we’re carrying a hell of a weight. It’s only because we think the weight must be carried forward. If we just give ourselves permission to put down the weight before we move forward then we won’t be tiring ourselves in the journey.
There is no reason we should carry everything of our past. I know our past is something that lingers in our mind whether we want it to be or not. But it’s our choice whether we want to carry its burden or not. It is good to have a remembrance of it whether it was a tragedy or fortune and then move on. Carrying it’s weight everywhere you go is only gonna make the journey harder.
There are times when we take things too seriously and burden ourselves with its weight. While nothing should be taken more seriously than life itself. If anything is weighing your life with its burden, it must be put down.
Otherwise, we will trudge hardly in order to move forward. Moving forward is all we are meant to do in life and it doesn’t matter what we carry with us. So if we just carry the changed mindset from the past and leave everything else behind. Then it becomes really easy to carry out the journey.
I see a lot of people fussing too much about petty things that can be solved if they stop taking them too seriously. Nothing in life is permanent so if we just consider everything transient. We would be ready to carry them with a smile. Whether its people’s words or life’s hardships, all they take is a little time to be forgotten. And there is no point in freaking out about things which aren’t going to make sense in the long run.
If I would be given a chance to make any changes in the past, I would do nothing. But just sit and relax, for I had worried too much about things that don’t matter for now anywhere. Because sometimes all you can do to make things fall into their places is to just breathe. And wait for things to fall into their places. Because no matter how hard you try, how bad you want them to fall into their places. You can’t and all you can do is to breathe and let things happen on their own.
The reason why we freak and feel frustrated in our lives is that we try to control things that aren’t even in our hands to control. Rather than concerning ourselves with things we do have control over, we try to force things.
It’s mere foolishness to try to control the uncontrollable. Because in order to do so we lose control over things we do have control over.
Our past is something we don’t have any control over and we are all trying to make some change in them. We wish if that only one thing would have not happened, life would have been much easier and happier. But the only way you can make your life any happier is by letting them go.
Just that we realize that some things are meant to be taken as they are, rather than forcing our will upon them. That we will have a lot more peace within ourselves.
Rather than taking things too seriously, we should better try to make peace with them. That they will stop hurting us and we wouldn’t be carrying its burden everywhere we will go.
