Add some more weight and try a Superset
Sometimes you don't realise the weight of something you have been carrying, until you feel the weight of its release. We all carry burdens around with us, which from time to time, feel heavier than usual or more onerous and tend to weigh down on our daily lives, sometimes more than we actually perceive, or see. Whether it is a health issue, or some hurt or fear, these often submerged feelings actually impact on how we are able to cope with daily life and how we move forward daily in our journey. We can try to be focused and suppress the feelings we have and we may even be able to successfully manage and control the views that others may have of us, but we cannot get away from ourselves and our true feelings when are alone and faced in the mirror with what lies squarely on our heart and shoulders. "You can run, but you cant hide", is a famous saying in boxing circles to signify that even though you can move away from the imminent danger of your opponent for a long enough time, the fact is, that somewhere in the course of the bout, the opponent will close in on you and land a blow or two. Life offers little reprieve from the tough times and we are not, any of us, spared a life of complete bliss. This is why we sometimes have no choice but to let go of the complete control of every situation and expectations we have and become satisfied that our lives are as complete as we allow ourselves the opportunity to experience and no amount of fretting and self doubt, or uncertainty can take away the fears and trepidation we experience from time to time. We just have to be willing to face the facts that we are not in control of everything and every relationship, and that it takes two or more to make it work, that every decision requires the exercise of a choice and every lonely moment presents an opportunity to find our true north. We don't need others to make us happy, we can choose this for ourselves, we need not rely on someone else to be the cause of our peace, but we have the ability to take hold of it ourselves. And as the weight of our life presses in on us, we need not give way to placing everything on our shoulders, but we can rely on faith and a strong will to succeed, so as to ensure that we get where we need to go. Whatever we can no longer hold on to, we will need to let go and hope that what we have done to get to this point and whatever commitments we have made are indeed surmountable with the right attitude and an ability to face up to our new reality.
