Anxiety always originates from a lie. All lies, whether self generated or accepted from another person, will resonate as a pendulum swinging to and fro as a reminder of an inconsistency with truth and impeccability.

Ultimately, anxiety creates stagnancy. What's the solution? Speak the truth even if it scares you. Be authentic.
