Scared and Excited at the Same Time

Over the weekend, I had a few hours to waste at a local car dealership and found myself in conversation with a very motivated young man.

After seeing my email address, he asked a few questions about what I do for a living, and we were off to the races. Eventually, he said the same thing I hear many times a week –

“I’m trying to figure out what I want, but I want more. That excites me AND scares me.

Sometimes I wonder when I’ll get started and how long it will take — so I never get started.”

Like I said, I hear that every week, and I have for years.

Here’s my answer.

You’ll never stop trying to figure things out. Life is an endless cycle of figuring things out, getting comfortable, and getting uncomfortable, and figuring things out again. It never ends. You may as well play the game.

Excitement and Scary can feel the same. Emotionally, they are not that different. If you find that it is one or the other, look deeper. If it’s both, I would move forward as fast as possible.

You’ll get started as soon as you are more excited than scared.

As long as you are excitedly moving toward your goal, how long it takes won’t matter.

That’s something that is hard to remember… but it’s a good thing if you do.
