Steve Cuss (Managing Leadership Anxiety)
“Anxiety is a signal, not a root cause. Anxiety is generated when we think we need something in any particular moment that we don’t actually need. Anxiety is not just worry and fear. It’s how you react when you don’t get something you think you need. The point is that anxiety becomes a marker that something other than God’s presence and love is at play in my mind and body.”
