Undue burdens

How many of your struggles are self imposed? Certainly not all of them, but probably many of them are.

As you go through each day you struggle with various challenges. As valuable as challenges can be, some of them are likely unnecessary, and you could do something about them.

Ask yourself, what challenges are you running into again and again that you could take action to solve and eliminate once and for all? Doing so would free you to pursue more worthwhile, fulfilling activities.

As strange as it might seem, some struggles can become so familiar that they turn into habitual behavior. You have the power to rid yourself of those dispiriting habits.

Examine the tasks that occupy your time, looking for activities that don’t really gain you anything but that have become so comfortable you don’t think much about them. Maybe you’d be a lot better off without them.

You can’t avoid many of life’s burdens, yet you absolutely can avoid placing your own undue burdens on your time and efforts. Seek to rid yourself of those, and you’re likely to find opportunities for doing so.
