That is not your burden to carry.
We all have problems in our lives. Most problems that we usually have are genuine affecting out lives. But some problems we take them on ourself for no reason at all. We worry about them, we try to control them, we try to get things done our way in situations like those. But I have something to say to you
That is not your burden to carry.
If you can't do anything about the situation, why worry about it then in the first place ? If you can't understand where the path leads to then why do you want to predict it ? If you don't know what will be the outcome of a certain situation why control it ? That is not your burden to carry. Whatever happens with that you will be fine with that. If it turns out your way then that's nice, if not then also fine. Now you have one less thing to worry about your life.
Stoicism tells to worry about the things that we can control and leave out the things that we cannot. Why worry ? We all should like a Mountain and these types of situations should be like Wind. The Mountain does not pursue the wind. Wind comes and goes as it pleases, why let it bother you in the first place.
I want you all to do one thing right now, take a piece of paper and write down what you are grateful in your life and what are your actual problems and now you can achieve them. Now I want you to think that I have this this this in my life, how should I live my life such that i will achieve this in my life and whatever path you will tell you to that is the best path for your in your life.
Whatever is burdening you in your life, whatever is making you worry, whatever is not in your control, that is not your burden to carry. You don't have to take that burden onto yourself. Live freely, Love truly and Laugh genuinely.
Live. Love. Laugh.
