When God says He has a better way, He does... It's called The Way. The Way is a path paved with gold, so pure it's transparent. It may be difficult to recognize when first presented. God presents Himself through every day ('normal'), life situations. His plan will probably reveal stress and anxiety. Don't embrace the stress and anxiety but allow God to change you, continuing in The Way.
Emotions (i.e. anxiety and stress) can be sign posts, letting you know there is a conflict in your 'systematic' thinking. If a computer has a conflict it crashes and is unable to process efficiently. You are the same in this respect. God speaks to you through life situations, allowing you to be honest about the struggle. Being honest isn't intended to mark your identity, but rather find the follies of your unique human belief system. Traditionally, we call this confession. No matter what you call it, live life simply and as honest as possible.
Do you have needs in your life? If you answered 'yes' to that question it's a good indication you are having an identity crisis without even knowing it.
We all learn from birth to get our needs met through hard work. We're taught to get an education and apply ourselves so that one day we can be somebody. We're taught to do the 'right thing'. In other words, we are all taught performance based acceptance (PBA). The one thing all the education in the world won't teach, is how to be alive. The world system is designed to always dangle a carrot in front of you and tell you that you can have this and 'then' you'll be happy.
There is a better way. Stop trying so hard and just trust Him. The dreams you have could be the thing that is keeping you from experiencing "THE DREAM".
