Don't Worry....Be Happy! :)

Hey you. Read this. NOW! I'm back! Yahoo! So this entry probably isn't going to be anywhere near as long as the last one, but it is equally as important. :S It's about worrying. WORRYING?!? Worrying in general. Worrying about death, life, fear, sidewalk cracks, worry itself. To gain further insight on the topic of worrying, I had to consult my best friend ever (Wikipedia). It says, "Worry is the state of engaging in chains of thoughts and images of a negative and an uncontrollable nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats."
So in regular speak, I translate that as thoughts and pictures of things going very, very badly. Why do we worry? Do we worry because we are scared? Because we are pessimistic? Because we are paranoid? Maybe it's because we've been hurt. Hurt too many times. But things don't always have to go badly. I think worrying is half the bad, if that makes any sense. You're outting a restrain on yourself. You are telling yourself, I can't do this, I can't do that. You won't know until it happens. People who don't worry are the people who are truly free. There's no need to worry. But it's so hard not to. Automatically, you think, What if this happens? What about this? It's so hard to control. If you're worrying about a test, worry won't make you do better. It won't make you think better. Even the Bible tells us not to worry so much. Matthew 6:27-29 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Proverbs 12:25 Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up. So here's an encouraging word: Pick yourself up! Go out and do something! Trust me, if you put your heart into anything, you can do it! :D
