Random Thought 19 - Burden

Every now and then, we carry burdens along the way. At times,  we carry our own burdens. There are also some instances that we carry the burdens of others.

It is an inevitable happening that burdens are laid down before our path. Though we are dreaming of a happy existence, our life is not a bed of roses all the time.

Burdens do come in different forms. They can be problems from our past. They can be our present concern. Perhaps, they can be our anticipations. They can be petty or worst, they seem to be insurmountable.

Our burdens are our excess baggage and if we don't have the courage to face them, they become our constant nightmare.

So how shall we deal with our burdens? Maybe we can reflect on these two considerations: first, we always have an option to throw away those excess baggage; and secondly, burdens will define our character and hone us to become a better person. Just consider the fact that no one is spared in having burdens but the way we face them defines a difference among us.
