Why worry?

I’m thinking a lot about my future career these days. There are many options, I don’t really know which is the right one for me. I started worrying about this as I don’t want to take the wrong decision. Career decisions never effect only you, they effect your whole life, your family etc. It became a big topic in my head and that’s why I got worried.

Today in the morning I went swimming. I wasn’t really in the mood as I was thinking a lot about the mentioned topics. So I swam a bit and then went out again.

In the cloakroom I saw a group of girls, probably about 16 years old. Listening to them made me really greatful about my life because I at least don’t have to worry about the things they worry about anymore.

They talked about secrets they had and didn’t tell their boyfriends, school exams, grades, how they didn’t like their hair and if they should put make-up on or not. It really made my smile.

You know why I smiled? Because I realized that I went through a lot since I was 16 and all turned out very well for me. They still need to finish school, find love, lose love, maybe finish university, find their first job, get rid of their bad skin, gain weight, lose weight, find out what they want to do in their live, maybe get married and so on.

I’m SO HAPPY that I at least don’t have to worry about those things anymore. At the same time at that age everything seemed such a big issue although in the end I really laugh about the things I was worrying about at that time. And I’m sure I will laugh about the things I am worrying about today as well.

So, why worry?
