The only burden you experience in your life is of your own expectations. "Life should turn out this way else it will all be futile. All my efforts are to create a life I wish." Sounds familiar? Obviously it is. It is how the mind functions. And everyone is conditioned in the same way. That's why it's such a common line of thinking. To break free, you need to acknowledge - how social conditioning is taken for granted and is never questioned or examined. Let loose your rigid expectations and be open to change. Because of the simple reason that change, in the world, is the only constant. You try your best to direct this change in your favour, and yet if that doesn't work, accept. Simple. You don't take everything to your heart. This way you allow yourself to be aligned with life and thus not create unnecessary resistance. _Your strength lies in accepting life as is._
