Saying: We all have our own cross to bear
There are many types of people in this world.
The one thing we all have in common is that we all have our own cross to bear.
Those crosses come in different sizes and weights, but each person must tolerate theirs and keep going.
The saying we all have our own cross to bear means we each have our own unique challenges and difficulties to face in life.
The few without a cross to bear should consider themselves lucky if they never know what it’s like to have one.
The truth is that life is full of challenges, and we must grin and bear them as they come our way.
We must never give up on the hope that someday we will overcome our failures and succeed in life.
The funny thing is that success also comes with a cross to bear.
For some people, the burden of success and all the responsibilities that go with it are too much.
We could say it goes to their head.
Their success is the ultimate source of their downfall.
You may be familiar with the story of Jesus’s crucifixion and how he was made to carry a cross through the streets of Jerusalem.
Christians believe Jesus carried not only a physical cross but also all the sins of the world on his shoulders.
From this situation, we get the saying we all have our own cross to bear.
It is not easy to get through life without challenges.
There will always be difficulties or crosses that one must bear.
However, it is important never to give up and keep trying.
The more difficult the situation, the greater the reward will be in the end.
We can all be strong and successful people despite the fact or because we all have a cross to bear.
