You do not have to do it all alone.  In fact, it is when you think that you act
alone that your choices do not come from the highest place.  How often do you stop and acknowledge that
you are connected to higher consciousness? 
How often do you pause in awareness of your unseen helpers and ask for
their help?  You need not feel
desperate.  You need not worry or feel
the weight of the world on your shoulders. 
Pray.  Ask for help.  In so doing you acknowledge a Source outside
of yourself that is actually within yourself, for all is connected.  The connecting thread is love, for God is
love.  You and all of your helpers are
made of the same essence.  Remember this
when life gets to be a burden and do not feel you must shoulder the weight
alone.
