Stress

Most humans spend their lives stressed.  People have things on their mind and on their to-do-list all of the time.  Well, as soon as one thing is completed we automatically start being stressed about the next thing on our list.  It is this ridiculous thing we love to put ourselves through.  The thing that makes me wonder why we bother stressing over such small things is in fact that they are so small.  I worry about very small things, but I don't realize that what I'm worried about really is not that important.  In a year all of the things you were worried about today will not matter one bit because time healed your worry.  In one year, however, you will be stressed about several other things, in which won't be problems the year that follows.  And so it goes.  Our entire lives we spend time worrying and stressing about things that will pass over time.  It makes me wonder why we bother worrying at all.  If we know that eventually all of the things we want to accomplish will be accomplished, why would we fill several hours of the day overworking our thoughts about them?  

Today in hip-hop our teacher "Dancing Dave" as we call him played us a song.  One of the lines struck me, and made me think.  The words were, "Realize that today is the beginning of forever." Nas wrote this.  Although he is a rapper, and many people do not appreciate rap as an art, some of the lyrics Nas writes are absolutely brilliant.  They are sure to make your mind think.  I will not share with you my interpretation of that particaular lyric... I will allow you to interpret it however you wish. I just thought since it made me think it could make someone else think. So there you have it.

Happy Birthday Tori Spelling :)

Happy Birthday Janet Jackson :)
