I’ve come to call it, Ambition Paralysis: The plight of having the drive and desire to achieve something, only to become completely overwhelmed by what you actually need to do in order to make anything happen. But I’ve learned that feeling overwhelmed sometimes is completely normal. Better still, I’ve also learned it’s completely conquerable!
