Stop Carrying The World On Your Shoulders

The pain of the world does not belong to you.

Find your purpose in life. Your raison d’être.

Seek it.

Let go of everything else.

You cannot save the world.

Yes it’s hard to hear but it’s also a relief.

You’ll find comfort in knowing that you can save yourself, instead.

I refuse to believe the world is doomed and collapsing.

That people are either purely evil or not at all.

We are species put on this earth for God knows what reasons.

What is going on in the world, it is not yours to keep.

It doesn’t belong to you.

The pain isn’t yours.

Even though it hurts.

Yes we can all improve as mankind.

But first and foremost, it is you who must improve on your own.

If we all improve, by just a little bit, we will inhabit a safer world.

But it starts with you. It always does.

You worry a lot.

And it steals you away from the here and now.

From the little things that may cause you to smile.

Phone calls from your grandma.

The warm sun settling on your skin.

From ordinary life.

Life will never be perfect.

It will never be still.

Evil will never cease to exist.

Just like good will never stop lighting your life, even if it’s just with glimpses at a time.

Stop carrying the world on your shoulders.

Seek stillness.

Comfort.

Love.

Inspiration.

Purpose.

God.

Once you do, you will be abundant and have so much to give back.

This is the real cycle of life.
