No Worries.

I listened to a song the other day that has been gracing radio stations since the end of last summer. This song, never really stuck out to me, caught my attention, or seemed applicable to my life. However, as I was listening to it this afternoon, a few verses screamed at me. Screamed metaphorically speaking that is. Today, those verses spoke to me, and I could relate. In the song “One Step At A Time” by Jordan Sparks, the fifth phrase gave me an epiphany. The verse states,

"You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet. Wonder when and where and how you’re going to make it. You know you can if you get the chance. In your face, the doors keep slamming (© Crosstown Songs UK Limited; Cutfather Publishing Limited; Laurel Krown Publishing)."

I have been feeling this way a little bit lately. For my entire life I have switched back and forth on the subject of what I want to do when I grow up. Now that I am in college, I pretty much have that decided. It only took one major change/rude awakening to figure it out. No worries, last semester has not scarred me that bad. In fact, last semester is what has allowed me to get my thoughts straight and decide what I want to do with my life. Since October of last year, I have known exactly what I want to do with my life. I love my new major in the College of Human Sciences, and still have time to not let college get in the way of my equine education. There is only one problem…

I want to show the world how I can help people with equine therapy, but no one knows my name. I wonder about when and where and how this is going to happen. I have no doubt that I can do this, but I have yet to see a chance. I see a door opening to a world full of ideas, but it closes in my face. That sounds a whole lot like a verse in Jordan Sparks’ song doesn’t it? It is funny that I was thinking and feeling this, and then decided to listen to “One Step At A Time.” Wow.

Although, this verse of the song, illustrates my thoughts at this present time, it goes on. As I continued to listen I realized that, maybe I am jumping the gun. I am only a freshman, I should be worrying about getting through my three tests next week instead of after I graduate. The song goes on to say “One step at a time there’s no need to rush…It’s gonna happen and it’s supposed to happen (© Crosstown Songs UK Limited; Cutfather Publishing Limited; Laurel Krown Publishing).” Exactly! Why rush? I have all the time I need. When the time comes, it will come. I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Thank God for music, because sometimes the right song plays right when you need to hear it.
