Tired Shoulders

It's common in the age we live in to get stuck on the "daily grind." We wake up, drink coffee, get dressed, go to work or school, come home at the end of the day, and start all over again in the morning. It's repetitive and the days can seem to blend together. On top of this monotony, you have your own problems to solve. We've got our own responsibilities to keep up with. For some it's family and for others it's homework or any number of other duties. This can cause anxiety or depression. Those thoughts that are familiar to so many can creep into our minds. Thoughts like, "why am I even doing this? What's the point?" Our shoulders are tired with the burden of life. There's too much going on and we may just want to shutdown or sleep to escape the day. The weight is heavy.
So try something. Wake up! When our minds are full of our problems and our responsibilities and everything that's wrong with our lives and our circumstance we miss something precious. We miss out on the live's of everybody else that also shares this planet. Solve your problems and shake the daily grind by branching out. Strive to achieve selflessness by loving others and showing compassion. Solve your problems by trying to help others with theirs. If I personally have my own problems and I'm just now starting my life in "big boy land" I know that there are others with problems much bigger than mine. Their shoulders are killing them and they've been carrying the weight longer than me. There are people all around you struggling with the same thing or worse. The next time you Tweet, begin to create a Facebook status, or blog, are you about to be another problem for someone else? Or are you about to ease their aching shoulders?
