Bearing life's load

Tweet

"It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it." Lou Holtz, a former American football player said this. Why does God give us a load to bear, even if he might call it a gift, and we might call it hardship, a load still feels like a load, to us, now doesn't it? All is love, and that means that when you are carrying a load through life, you are holding onto an aspect of love, and not letting it flow freely to be only itself. Isolating an aspect of love gives it legs, and so something such as fear is carried, and it becomes heavier, the more that you continue to carry it in your life, along with you. Why do we see our life as a heavy load to have to carry, and in fact too heavy for us to even want to carry sometimes, even to the degree that we would rather just get right out of life, all together, at times? Life is an aspect of the greater livingness that is the whole of God loving, and existing within the oneness of himself. Love brings seemingly diverse aspects of itself to you, to help you to understand life, but when you push this aside through seeing it as hardship, the hardships, unfortunately, will increase, precisely because you are refusing to learn from your experiences with love. Most hardship is self-imposed in this way, and it is really about refusing to see the lessons within your life that God sets for you, in order for you to learn how his love works for the good of all. All of this creates karma, and which is the burden of life that you carry with you, until you resolve it by accepting the love that, even karma is bringing to you to learn from. Karma is resolved from understanding that wisdom must be acquired from mixing new knowledge with acquired understanding to resolve and dissolve the karma created from offloading karma onto another, and in not carrying it for yourself. We must bear our own burdens on our own journey, and be ourselves, to learn as ourselves, and to grow past seeing any heaviness as a load, but to seeing it as a denser aspect of love, that we ourselves must lighten up within, and then to restore it to a greater balanced position within God's perfect love. Where can we get the extra strength from to bear life's loads? Life is not a load, unless you try to carry it. Flow with life, and allow it to carry you along, without any loads, or effort, at all. Strength can only come from strength, and this means simply that we need to recognise our own gifts, in such a way that we see them as gifts to be explored, rather than as burdens to carry. When we ignore gifts, they become burdens that our soul continues to place on our shoulders for us to take notice of one day, but if we pick up other karma, not related to our own true gifts, we create added burdens of our own. The only answer is to live from our gifts, by being our true selves uniquely as we were created to be. Life is heavy for us, because we create its gravity. Burdens are always more about our own attitude about them, rather than the actual weight of the load. Everyone can only feel his or her own burdens, and nearly everyone thinks that there own burdens are heavy to have to carry. Our burdens are relative to the amount of energy that we can muster to cope with them. When you are negative, your burdens seem to multiply, and increase in their weight. Positive people carry their burden with a certain lightness of knowing that it is sustenance on their trip. It is like carrying water and food for the journey of life, and so we learn the most, from our heaviest burdens. The heavier the burden, the more love that we must give out to carry it with. The only energy is love, and when we love fully, we never feel the weight of any loads or burdens, as all is then being carried not for us, but for God in serving the greater good of his perfect oneness manifesting itself in us, as us.

A shared burden, halves the burden.
