In Greek mythology, Atlas led the Titans in a war against the Olympians. As punishment, Zeus condemned him to stand eternally at the Western edge of the wotld and bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. Atlas managed to temporarily escape his burden by tricking others to do it for him, but the reprieve never lasted.
Sounds horrifying, doesn’t it? But many of us punish ourselves endlessly,struggling under the weight of burdens that we’ve given ourselves. These heavy loads could be entangled with guilt, fear, shame, envy, or anger, but they’re loads we could lay down or shrug off (as author Ayn Rand famously imagines Atlas doing in her 1957 masterpiece). We CHOOSE to bear the burden of Atlas, to condemn ourselves for some past mistake we made or imagined that we made.
It’s hard to move forward in our lives sometimes. Our emotions hold us back, prevent us from living life freely and joyfully. But you can break free of your emotions and shrug that heavy burden off your shoulders. Atlas may be stuck holding up the world, but you don’t have to be.
