Worry Not

They're some people out there who spend their time worring about where they are going to end up when they die. Well I have to admit I am a bit curious myself, but not to the point that I let it control my life. I know I have more years in back of me then I do in front of me, after all I don't believe I am going to live to be 108. But if that happens I will be the first to admit that I am wrong, and those of you that are still here (like Martin & Fredo) will be the first to say "I told you so". People clog their minds up with petty thoughts and worries, I am sure they view them as important..and they probably are to them. Recently I took my CNA state exam, and until the other day I was worried whether or not I had passed. I had studied for this test aggressivley and I knew the material, but still I lacked faith in my ability to believe that I could conquer this task at hand. Well I have passed and I am a NYS certified CNA now, and with it a lesson was learned. To be able to accomplish the first step is to believe in who you are and what you can do, In other words stp worring and believe in yourself.

Ah, yes. I am very bad about believing in myself! Very well written.

CGTS on the CNA!

On the other note: I have thought about "living" for eternity as I was taught as a kid in religious school and that idea actually doesn't seem very appealing. I had the thought that what happens if somebody commits suicide and the next existence is worse than what they left behind but there is no way out. With that in mind I'd have to agree: there are some things that just aren't worth worrying about.

After my most recent epidsode with depression I no longer question how a persons life can get so bad that they would kill themselves. Yes I thought about it, but my will to live outweighed my desire to die.
