How hard do you think it would be, to run a race with weights attached to your feet? We each are given a race to run in this life. Over time, life happens. Pressures, losses, mistakes, hurts, betrayals attach themselves to our souls. Each individual carries different weights. They are restricting and difficult, nonetheless. Some weights we do not have to carry. They don't belong to us. They may be imposed upon us by other people or even ourselves. The weight of past mistakes or unfulfilled expectations may burden us. We may need to decide that it is time to lay some things aside. We deserve to be free to run the race that is set before us.
