"The yoke you wear determines the burden you bear"

This quote by Edwin Louis Cole is a reminder that we have control over the amount of duty we handle in life. The "yoke" is an allegory for the selections we make and the decisions we take. It is up to us to make a decision how much we agree to take on and also how much we agree to bear. If we pick to take on as well a lot, we will certainly be weighed down by the problem of our responsibilities. On the other hand, if we choose to tackle only what we can take care of, we will certainly have the ability to manage our duties extra easily. This quote is a tip that we have the power to choose how much we agree to tackle as well as how much we are willing to bear. It is very important to make smart choices and to be conscious of the consequences of our choices.
