"If You're Nervous, Good!"

A high school teacher once said this, explaining that nervousness before an event or performance shows that you care about the outcome. A college graduate feeling apprehensive about a job interview, a high school thespian trembles before going on stage to begin a show, a couple (one of the lovers, or both) feels nervous as they take a step forward in a relationship. In any of these situations and many more, the person cares about what's going to result from their humble efforts. I am grateful for nervousness. Before many of the best things of my life occurred, I was nervous, but I stepped forward anyway and have been blessed in tremendous abundance.
