Once upon a time, there was a wise Monk and his eager disciple. They traveled together, spreading teachings of peace and wisdom. One day, they came across a river with a strong current. A lady stood there, unable to cross.
The Monk, without hesitation, lifted the lady and carried her across the river. ( The disciple was surprised, but he didn't say anything. They continued their journey.
Hours passed, and the disciple couldn't hold it in any longer. He said, "Master, you carried that woman! Isn't that against our principles?"
The Monk smiled and replied, "I left the woman at the riverbank. But you, my dear disciple, are still carrying her in your mind."
The disciple finally understood. He let go of his worries and started living in the present moment. From then on, he focused on the journey ahead, leaving behind unnecessary burdens.
As Tony Robbins wisely said, "Remember, if you are in your head, you are dead."
So, the act of sharing my struggle with a mental health professional especially my psychologist made me put down the burden of my struggle.
