It is true that you are never given more than you can handle. Yes, you may crumble under the weight of your human challenges at times, but help comes in many forms to assist you in getting back up. At times it comes from within, at others in the form of special human assistance, and because the two worlds are connected, any assistance is always aided from across the veil.

There are those who give up when the challenges seem overwhelming. There is understanding of this across the veil, but we say again that you are never given more than you can handle. And so, your task when the burdens lie heavily upon your shoulders is to ask for assistance from within and without and to trust that you are never alone. Your blinders may blind you to this Truth, but when your burdens have lifted, as they will, for the Law of Balance is immutable, you will see that you have grown ever stronger as a result of shouldering these burdens.

Human life is a dance of pain and pleasure. Pain cannot be avoided in the School of Life, but it can be handled with greater ease with understanding of these laws.
