NERVOUS OR EXCITED

    ​NERVOUS OR                       EXCITED

His little four year old body began shaking and he said,

     “Mommy, I am so nervous!”
     “Why are you nervous,” she said,
            “YOU love to go with Grandma?”
      “Oh, wait, I’m not nervous, I mean I am                  EXCITED!” he answered.

How many times in life do we confuse nerves with excitement?
Is it the painful tingling sensation of nerves we feel in our bodies?
Or
The butterflies of excitement and anticipation that tingles us to our core?
Can you tell the difference between the two?
 
Even worse, how many times do we allow nerves to steal our excitement?

In an unattainable search for perfection, we allow festive occasions to turn into a check list of worries and what ifs.
 
Life should be a grand adventure filled with fun and enthusiasm for what is ahead of us.  Just as those butterflies begin to flutter in joy, fear creeps in disguised as nerves.
We are afraid we will be late, miss a deadline, the wedding won’t be perfect and on and on.
We visualize the worst outcomes.
Outcomes that will rarely happen.
And here is the bottom line – most of it we cannot control, anyway!

Why not visualize the best?
Visualize wonderful days, grand adventures, joyous occasions and happy endings. 

Be aware enough to understand the difference between nervousness and excitement!
Allow EXCITEMENT to push out the nervous fear, so that you can enjoy life to its fullest!
