"Anxiety is uncertainty multiplied by powerlessness."

Some people insist everything is easy. “Just do it,” they say, “and the world will smile and good things will magically happen.” But powerlessness is a matter of I can’t right now. I’m missing something, and until one figures out what that is, they're toast.

Maybe it’s all part of the advice not to trade what you want most for what you want most right now. I like that. But all too often people post inspirational quotes and seem to feel they’ve saved humanity or something. And maybe, for some, they have. For others, though, it’s like giving sweets to someone dying of thirst.

Anxiety is horrible, but it's also perfectly normal. Some just show it less than others.

ANXIETY!
