My Gen X Playlist: Three Little Birds – Bob Marley

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m currently on sabbatical, taking time off from career burnout. This temporary pause is a much needed break and taking time to decompress is definitely healing. I’ve had a lot of time to think about the future and have given a lot of thought about next steps. I came to a new realization that I have a blank canvas, open to new ideas and career paths. In the past, I felt tied down to a career that I spent over 25 years building. This brief break has given me a new fresh perspective and I’m excited for the future. Now, the funny thing is that I can be a worrier, especially when I feel that I am not in control of my life. But at this moment in time, I don’t feel that shadow of worry. I’m sure this may change in the future, but for now I’m just going to enjoy the moment. Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds celebrates this on the playlist today.

Bob was a preacher of love and letting your worries float away, and “Three Little Birds” says it clearly: “Don’t worry about a thing, ’cause every little thing is gonna be alright.”

"Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Don't worry)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (Don't worry)
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (I won't worry)
