Hi Travis — thanks for your comment. I appreciated your story — it sounds like you had firsthand experience of how we tend to rationalize our emotions, and just admitting how we feel rather than trying to “defend” it can be so freeing.

I agree, that more often than not we shy away from important choices because of emotions getting in the way as opposed to having a clear and present reason for avoiding them.

For example, I was nervous about transitioning into a new job for the longest time because I was anxious about how it would make my FAMILY feel as opposed to the consequences it actually bestowed upon me, and I quickly realized that my choice was being dictated by anxiety (stemmed from them) more so than intelligence. You’re right when you say it’s a liberating feeling to be able to move past that phase, but unfortunately it’s a phase so well hidden that most people don’t know they’re stuck there to begin with.

change is something SO many people have a problem with. I actually enjoy it but most of my co-workers cannot accept it at all!
