Albatross On Our Neck

Albatross On Our Neck ?

Who needs an albatross ?  Guess none of us will welcome an albatross.  Unfortunately, some of us [or probably many of us] do have that 'albatross on our neck'.  Just to be clear, having that 'albatross on our neck' does not mean that we're referring to a curse.  May not be a curse in most cases but I'd rather tag that 'albatross on our neck' as anything that seems to become a burden in our life.

Good to know though that that 'albatross on our neck' can come in many forms and shapes that end up as challenges in our life.  Health issue.  Family issue.  Financial issue.  Business issue.  Work-related issue and other multifarious shapes and forms.  What do we need to do then ?  First and foremost, you need to recognize that burden you're carrying.  Unless and until you recognize it, no way will you be able to fix it at all.

Why do we need to fix that 'albatross on our neck', if at all ?  Plain and simple.  Unless you fix it with finality, it will hover and hover in your life, disrupting whatever calm and tranquil you have in your life.  It will be wreaking havoc and just be too disruptive in your daily life.  In one fell swoop, your life can turn upside down or at the very least, topsy-turvy.  That's a fox hole you ended up and your only option is to extricate yourself out of it.

That 'albatross on our neck' may not be visually obvious.  Could be all in your head and that's the worst part because how can you be mentally and psychologically at peace if something is bothering you in life ?  It could worsen as a self-torture that you would have to agonize, more often, every tick of the clock.  Unless you get to have that peace of mind, how can you live life with a purpose, with less pressures, with less problems ?  Worst, that will muddle things up such that your cognitive part will be unable to think coherently and handle things in a logical and rational manner.  These are the ramifications of a problem begetting another problem a.k.a. 'albatross on our neck'.

To quote Michael Cunningham, the noted American novelist who was a Pulitzer Awardee for Fiction, 'YOU CANNOT FIND PEACE BY AVOIDING LIFE'.  In bare knuckles, what this means:  Focus your attention to the things you can control, be true and honest to yourself, do good deeds, be assertive and lastly, strategize to find your balance and inner peace.  Only then the path towards the main road will be paved for you to trek.  In a nutshell, let us extricate ourselves from that 'albatross on our neck'.  Everything is possible.  You just gotta do it, dude.❗❗❗
