In this brief monologue, the speaker reflects on the feeling of being simultaneously scared and excited as a personal barometer that they are pursuing the right path. They describe how being challenged and questioned by others pushes them into deeper thinking, and they emphasize the necessity of embracing a mix of fear and excitement, especially during the initial three weeks of a new endeavor, to take risks and make bold leaps forward.

The other thing I think is that I have always found this to be true for myself is that I know I'm doing the right thing when I'm a little bit scared and equal parts excited. Yeah. And that's where I'm at. And, you know, because you're pushing me in ways I hadn't thought of, you know, you're asking me questions that are making me really think deeply. And I think you have to be at that place. I think you have to be willing to be a little bit scared and a little bit excited. And I felt that. And if I didn't feel that, then I don't think this would've been the right thing for me. And so I reside there in these first, you know, 3 weeks, probably still stay there for the whole length of things. But I think you really have to be ready to take a risk, take a leap.
