"Offer them what they secretly want and they of course immediately become panic-stricken"

This quote by Jack Kerouac speaks with the idea that when we are presented with something that we desire, we can become overloaded with worry. This fear can be rooted in the concept that we might not be able to deal with the responsibility that includes having what we desire. We may also fear that we are not worthwhile of the thing we prefer, or that we might not be able to keep it. This quote is a reminder that when we are presented with something we want, it is essential to take a step back and evaluate our sensations and our capability to handle the duty that includes it. It is also essential to bear in mind that we deserve the important things we desire which we can make it occur.
