Heavy on your mind?
That is not a throwaway question. It is the one question that shows up before the coffee is ready…
…before the phone starts ringing…
…before the world tells you who you are supposed to be today.
What is heavy usually doesn’t make noise during the day. It waits for the quiet and calm.
It’s money.
It’s family.
It’s time.
It’s the things you wish you handled differently.
It is the things you are not sure how to handle.
Most of us try to outrun it or stay busy. We try to keep moving or just flip the channel.
The heavy doesn’t leave just because you ignore it. It just rides along with you, scraping its knuckles on the cement.
So try this instead, just for today….
…Don’t fix everything. Don’t solve your whole life.
Just name it, that one thing. The one thing that is sitting on your chest right now.
Because once you say it out loud or even just admit it to yourself, it loses a little bit of its weight.
Then you can do something about it.
One call.
One decision.
One small step forward.
That is how you move heavy things.
The Chicago Hounds are out in Seattle tonight. A long trip in a tough environment. It isn’t easy winning on the road, but that is the heavy they need to move.
You don’t wait for things to get lighter. You show up and carry it anyway.
