Not getting anything done out of anxiety you should be getting something done is a real problem a lot of people have. I sure had it at times. I would be more sympathetic to the author and try to understand the problem better before calling her names.

Work out what's actually important in life and to you, and LET GO of everything else. Work out what your heart desires, and then the thinking becomes doing very quickly.

The hardest part, is to start.

Take the first step, and the rest get progressively easier.

That's completely wrong. Doing a start-up, or learning any new skill is like riding a bull. Its easy to get on, and when you do... you have this optimism that can only come from having no idea what you're doing.

The hardest part is staying on the ride while it tries to shake you off.

Wow, are we the same person? Or is this the new state of a generation?

You're not a thinker--you're a procrastinator.

There a deep emotional issues causing your anxiety, probably from your childhood. You need to get out of your head. You're stuck in an endless loop.

"There a deep emotional issues causing your anxiety, probably from your childhood."

Um, what?
