I really appreciate that you posted about this, because I can certainly relate to this feeling, particularly at this time of year. Sometimes, I look back at the closing year and think that maybe I didn't do anything differently after all, and that my life was basically the same at the end of the year as it had been at the beginning.
But posts like this remind me that that is not the case. It never is, for any of us who put forth effort in constantly progressing and moving forward.

I also appreciated you saying this:
Luckily, I know that the feeling will pass. These are opportunities to refocus on the life and the world that we are dedicated to creating.

That stood out to me. These times are opportunities to refocus, and I have to remind myself that making sure I take that opportunity is the silver lining in the otherwise cloudy panic.

Thanks for the insight, Justin. ^^ and Happy New Year!
