I think this is pretty natural / universal. There’s a lot of “ways” to deal with the emotions you’re feeling (“seethe”), for me the important inflection point was realizing that what was driving that was internal conflict between where I wanted to go & how I was going to get there. So looking more inward and less outward was key, and filtering out all of that “noise” to focus on tangibly making myself better was key.

Here’s where it gets more fun — that process made me realize that where I “wanted to be” was not where I wanted to be. And this post was fun to read because I reflected on how far off I am from when I felt the same way, and yet I’ve achieved different successes than I had imagined, experienced different failures than I had dreaded. It’s a wild ride; take time to reflect, work to improve yourself and set goals, but balance it with enjoyment of the ride.
