Stop Waiting to Feel Ready

How often have you paused on the edge of something amazing, telling yourself you’re just waiting until you “feel ready?” The truth is, that “ready” feeling rarely arrives exactly when you need it. The reality is simpler (and scarier): readiness is not something you feel; it’s something you choose.
Waiting for readiness to magically appear can keep you stuck. Maybe it’s a career change, launching your business, starting a creative project, or even making a difficult personal decision. If you’re holding out for that moment when the stars align, you could be waiting forever.
Here’s the secret: Ready is a decision. It’s saying yes even though your heart is racing, your mind is full of questions, and you’re not sure what comes next. It’s embracing uncertainty because growth lives there.
Consider this your permission slip: You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. Most successful journeys begin without a perfect map, guided instead by courage, determination, and a willingness to learn along the way.
So today, instead of asking yourself if you feel ready, ask yourself if you’re willing to be brave. Take the first small step forward. Choose readiness. Your future self will thank you.
You got this!
