What Do You Carry?

WHAT DO YOU CARRY? Standing outside and looking straight to the street one afternoon, I saw a car loaded with lots of baggage, and obviously the vehicle carried more than its capacity. As a result, its movement was remarkably slowed down. Then it occurred to me that, this is exactly the way a lot of folks live their lives. They carry more than they could bear. They make mountains out of the mole hill the world brought their way. They fill their heart with fear of what tomorrow holds. That vehicle, out of the pressure of overloading has become very old and worn out that it looked like it could hardly survived and made its journey. Many young people today look three times their age because of the pressure of life. They look like they can't get anything out of life because of the pressure of unnecessary and avoidable loads they carry. Do you belong to this category? Do you allow the fear of the future grip you that you are uncertain what it holds? Do you carry your problems on your head and live like you are the only one with problems? Do you allow your situations to wear you out? You know what? Life is full of ups and downs, and we all at one time and the other experience the downs. You are not in it alone. Live your life one day at a time. Don't be afraid of the future; the future will certainly be bright if you live the present well. The way you live at the present determines what the future will become. Don't allow the pressure of today press you down or wear you out to lose the brightness of the future you so much care for. You have been given the power of volition. You choose what you feel. You are in charge of your feelings and emotions. I encourage you to choose to feel happy. Don't carry more than you can bear. I see the future saying to you; "fear not, for I am bright and certain!" You're loved! Thanks for reading.
