Does anyone else get that childlike excitement and thrill when you have big plans and goals ahead of you? I know the anxiety that comes with major exams, career shifts, or life-changing events all too well, but for me, that anxiety derives from a disorganized or uncertain direction. When everything is in place, when you know exactly what needs to be done, how to do it, and when to do it—it’s one of the most empowering feelings. It’s stronger than any cup of coffee or motivational video. It’s purpose. It’s fulfillment. It’s the reason to get up in the morning.
