I find this an incredibly comforting thought.
We are talking here about the anxiety from making choices in our professional or personal life.
Perseverating on what to do with our lives, our careers, or how to handle a significant decision at work can weigh on us.
Choices like these have consequences.
We are right to deliberate seriously on what to do.
But as we worry about what might go wrong, we should remind ourselves that we would not be free without choices.
Most people say they desire their freedom.
We have to be willing to take the existential pain that comes with it.
Next time you find yourself struggling with a tough decision, remember that this is what makes you free.
