If the feeling points at something concrete, a skill you keep avoiding, a conversation you keep not having, then it is useful information, and the cure is doing that thing this week.

If it is general, it is just noise wearing the costume of ambition, and it has never moved anybody forward.

Ask yourself which one it is. The answer usually arrives immediately and is usually uncomfortable.
