what comes of dancing in the dirt

Clouds of dust are swirling round my head, and making it hard to see.  Never mind that they exist because I insist on kicking the dirt.

Someone posted a link to this article:  http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/230333.  Goals vs system.  Hmmm. . . a lot like the journey matters more than arrival.  So graduation, the bar exam, even a new job-none of them are arrivals, but more plotted points on the gradient of my life.  How am I to keep this perspective in the coming months?

Things like how to dress for an interview, what to include (or exclude) from my resume, how to structure my day when all that I have relied on to keep order is now moot, these and more are moving in my head.  It's no wonder that my dreams are wild and far-ranging these days, or that I wake to anxiety knocking at the door.

I know these are good problems to have, as problems go.  Still, their potency remains.
