Hi, Tiffy. I see you posted at 06:57 AM. Wow, give the day a chance. : )

Well, "giving up" might not be a bad idea. Seriously. I'm not talking about quitting. But giving up all the attachments to things you think are so important. Because at the end of the day, 99% of everything you think is important is - not important.

We really weren't designed to carry all these burdens. All these things you carry - people, attachments, ideas, beliefs - do nothing but weigh you down.

Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."

You're trying to get to a higher level with all these sandbags tied to you. What if, say, you gave yourself one week -- where -- you stopped caring -- stopped trying to be "good" --- stopped being concerned with what anyone else thinks or does.

Caste any and all doubts, problems, fears, judgements, burdens back to the universal intelligence - and let it work everything out for you. It's the same intelligence - which is infinitely higher than human intellect - that goes to work healing a cut after you've cleaned it with soap and put a band-aid on it.

"His yolk is easy, and his burden is light."

You'll wind up lighter and at a higher level. And from there the view is quite different. : )
