So I'm assuming most of you have seen the Lion King before....or you're like me who only saw it for the first time in recent time (2 weeks ago -_-). Anyways yeah....Hakuna Matata is translated to "there are no worries" or "no worries", I think a lot of the times we create burdens and place them on our shoulders along with the burdens of school, relationships, parents, friends, etc. We always have to have something wrong in our lives and if nothings wrong, we go seeking out problems in other people's lives and go make it our own. Now I'm watching Prison Break all over again and the main character Michael Scofield....he's the type of guy to put everyone else's needs ahead of his own, in other words....he carries the burdens of everyone and feels its his fault that his brother is in jail or that someone died or people are trying to kill his friends. In the same way, I think we are kinda like that where when our friends tell us their problems or whats bothering them, we feel like we have to make it our problem and we start to think about it non stop and let it bother us though it has nothing to do with us. Now me...I'm the type of person to blow things out of proportion and come back a day later saying.....wow that was small. What i'm trying to say here is sometimes....when life throws problems at you or when your friends are going through ish....you have to attack it with the mindset or"HAKUNA MATATA"....there are no worries...I mean like for me....school's over in like less than 3 weeks....I have 2 more exams left that will pretty much make or break my average I feel..and yeah you gotta study, keep focused and not get distracted, etc. But sometimes you just have to look at it and say hey...hakuna matata....especially since I'm christian and am a heavy believer, sometimes you just gotta put your faith in God's hands that everything will be okay. Whether you succeed or fail at a certain obstacle shouldn't make or break your confidence because every triumph and failure that God puts you through is specifically designed to shape and mould you in his likeness. I have this friend who's kinda going through the same problem I went through a while ago where this person has 2 close friends that aren't seeing eye to eye but this person is close with both of them. Meaning....they go to this person for advice and tell this person their side of t he story...so basically this person knows both sides of the story but can't share it with the other people because this person isn't supposed to. Now this person is stressing and getting upset because he/she can't do anything about it. I told them honestly I don't know why you're getting so worked up because it's not even your problem, I know you care for both of your friends, but you can't do anything about it besides sit back and let God do his work, y'know....It really is true that with age comes maturity and wisdom cuz as I've grown I'm learning so much more and becoming more aware of these things. I don't dwell in popularity and girls (sometimes)....but like you shouldn't make it your entire focus to date as many girls as you can or to have the most facebook friends or to go clubbing everyday in hopes of hooking up with a guy/girl. You just need to be living your life as is and letting it play out the way it's supposed to. Don't be down cuz all your friends have boyfriends/girlfriends and you're the odd one out, don't feel weird that all your friends do drugs/drink and you don't....don't feel like a loser cuz all your friends party and go clubbing and you choose to stay home and do homework.....keep your head up. And when you're faced with something that you feel you can't handle or is bigger than you.....simply say Hakuna Matata....no worries and just relax.
