Are we carrying unnecessary luggage?



One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather across its back on the terrace........

Several times it was confronted by obstacles in its Path and after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour. 




At one point the ant had to negotiate a crack in the concrete about 10mm wide.After brief contemplation the ant laid the feather over the crack, Walked across it and picked up the feather on the other side then continued on its way.

I was fascinated by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God's smallest creatures.

It served to reinforce the miracle of creation.

Here was a minute insect, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore,discover and overcome.

But this ant, like the two-legged co-residents of this planet, also shares human failings. After some time the ant finally reached its destination - a flower bed at the end of the terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home.

And it was here that the ant finally met its match.

How could that large feather possibly fit down a small hole? Of course it couldn't.

So the ant, after all this trouble and exercising great ingenuity, overcoming problems all along the way, just abandoned the feather and went home.

The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its epic journey and, in the end, the feather was nothing more than a burden. 

Isn't OUR LIFE like that..? We worry about our family; we worry about money or the lack of it, we worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things. These are all burdens - the things we pick up along life's path and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevices that life will bring, only to find that, at the destination, they are useless and we can't take them with us....still............

Let's travel light.........when we worry about the facts and situations of life, we feel them as burdens.........but when we do what needs to be done with total love without the thought of 'worry' we enjoy what we do........

when we worry that becomes seed of fear that expresses as a disfunction in our body or a disease.....

We are creating the cause of disease in our body and expect someone else to heal us? Not possible! It will certainly take time but its time you address your fear once and for all and be done with it......that's the only way to come out of this situation once and for all....

And the only way to heal the 'fear' from the root is to 'heal' it with various healing techniques......and no technique gives you overnight results so be with it and benefit from it - for sure!

let's start living and stop worrying...........

because in the end nothing matters...........
