I think jkgrandma said it best...'people who are self-aware enough to realize they are not perfect are the best kinds of people in this world'  So very true.  

I'm recalling the ancient egyptian belief that when one dies their heart is weighed on a scale against the weight of a feather, and if the heart proved to be heavier than that soul was doomed to the underworld...  There are things that we can carry with us, secrets, facts about us or our life that we are ashamed or afraid of or even just injustices or defeats in our past that we just can't seem to let go of.  It is this 'baggage' which weighs us down.  The burden of toting these things around with us can become overwhelming.  That is why releasing yourself from that weight or redistributing it to others willing to help, is the most important thing for you to do.  Talk with someone, it is so much easier to live in this world light as a feather, than to pick each foot up from dragging itself when we walk.  Any fear you may have at letting someone in, will only grow into something much more unpleasant. 

Take care of yourself and know that your potential and what your here to contribute is crucial for us all!  remember that.
