sympathy for a tugboat

I saw this little guy pulling a barge upstream, and I couldn’t help but wish it would release its load. Talk about projection.

I need to figure out what I’m dragging behind me and then let it go. Sometimes easier said than done, yes. But I think we could all stand to lighten our loads. Just letting go of a belief or habit that has become a hindrance can be incredibly liberating.

Is there a piece of the load you’re carrying that can be left behind?
