The Weight We Carry

Some people move through life followed by a quiet shadow. Whatever they do, they question it. If they act, regret appears: Why did I do that? If they hesitate, another voice rises: Why didn’t I? The mind circles endlessly, turning each moment into something to revisit, to judge, to undo.

Others seem untouched by this weight. They act without looking back, without guilt, without questioning. What is done is done, and they move on. And then there are those in between, who feel these currents only from time to time, not as a constant burden, but as a passing echo.

But perhaps the deeper question is not which one we are, but how we are living.

Life was never meant to be a courtroom where every action is judged twice. It is not a place to endlessly revisit what has already passed. It is movement. It is unfolding. It is the quiet invitation to meet each moment as it comes, and to let it go as it leaves.

Regret binds us to what cannot be changed. Guilt keeps us replaying what no longer exists. Yet both arise from the same place: resistance to what is.

To live fully is not to live perfectly, but to live openly, free of what has already passed. If you rise early, rise fully. If you sleep in, rest without burden. If you act, do so with awareness. And if something requires correction, then respond with honesty, with humility, and move forward. Life does not ask for perfection. It asks for presence.

There is a simple truth beneath it all: act when action is needed, and accept when it has passed. Not as indifference, but as clarity. In every action, there is something to be seen, something to be learned… something beyond right or wrong.

Flow like water. Water does not argue with the path it has taken. It does not return to reshape what has already been. It moves, adapts, continues.

And perhaps this is the freedom we are searching for. Not a life without mistakes, but a life without unnecessary weight. Because in the end, peace does not come from always doing the right thing…but from no longer being at war with what has already been done.

Live present. Live fully. Live unapologetically.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
