You Only Have Two Shoulders

Often, it feels like we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Family stuff. Personal struggles. Work. The world. Kids, and helping them find their way in the world. All this and more can start to weigh heavily on us and, if we’re not careful, can overcome and overpower, until we’re lying on the ground, breathing heavily, wondering what we do next and not having a clear answer. We begin to stress, because we don’t want to fail, either ourselves or those that count on us. We get weak, physically and mentally, and it becomes harder to pull ourselves out of the funk, so we continue down the path we’re on until breaking point is reached. We never see superheroes break, because they don’t live our lives and we don’t live in comic book fantasy worlds. This week's topic on episode 6 of Life Through a Dram.
