Make Your Burden Light

If we make every day a day of praise and thanksgiving, a day in which we recognize the Divine Bounty and the Eternal Goodness, and if we live today as though God were the only Presence and the only Power there is, we would not have to worry about tomorrow.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.--Matthew 11:30

We are all human, and we have all made mistakes. The starting point for creating a better future for ourselves is to deliberately free our minds from the mistakes of yesterday and feel that they need no longer be held against us; they need no longer be a liability.

Too often our minds are so burdened because of the mistakes we have made that we do not take time to forgive ourselves and others and to start over again.

We cannot go back over the past and relive it. We cannot make adjustments in the past. We have to make them in the present.
