Don't Worry, Be Happy






Today I was inspired. This may sound extremely dumb to everyone else, but I feel the need to share it. I play in my high school band and today we had a playing challenge. I have been sitting 3rd for a week or two and I was so ready to be bumped back up to 2nd. Well today that happened. I completed my goal! I can't even describe how happy I was at first. Then I thought back to how I felt before the challenge. I was stressed, nervous, and shaky. That is when I realized, when you have put in the work, there is nothing to worry about. "Don't worry, be happy!" If you start to worry, you may prevent yourself from doing your best.
    Over time you start to realize the warning sign of worry. You get frantic, you question yourself, you even doubt yourself. We all need to just stop! That's why this quote really spoke to me. I can use this to help me get through nerve-racking times and do my best. So what makes you happy? What are you excited about? Think about the next big test, or your next tryouts. Are you ready for them? Well as Bob Marley put it... "Don't worry, about a thing, because every little thing, is going to be alright!"

-Yours Truly
