This came to me from a friend and I thought it was worth sharing:

Put The Glass Down...
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management.
He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you think
this glass of water is?" The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
"It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you
hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour,
I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will
have to call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes."
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier.
What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed
and are able to carry on.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a
moment if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested and cleared your head.
Relax.
Life is short, enjoy it now!
