Ready isn't a feeling. It's a decision.

Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern.

Most people don’t get stuck because they don’t know what to do. A lot of times, they’re stuck because they do know what to do, they’re just waiting to feel ready before they move.

They’re waiting for more confidence, or more energy, or more clarity, or for someone to tell them they’re on the right track. And honestly, that makes sense. It feels responsible. It feels smart.

But what I’ve seen over and over is that action is what creates those things. Confidence doesn’t show up first. Clarity doesn’t magically appear. You move… and then those things start to follow.

Fear doesn’t disappear. Doubt doesn’t go away. You’re still tired. You still wonder if it’s going to work. That part is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It usually means you’re right on the edge of something bigger.

The people who end up creating extraordinary lives aren’t immune to that feeling. They don’t have some secret advantage. They just don’t let that discomfort be the thing that decides for them.

They do it anyway.

So if you’re feeling a little stuck right now, maybe the question isn’t “How do I feel more ready?” Maybe it’s “What’s one small step I could take today… even if I don’t feel ready yet?”

And if you are feeling brave, drop it below so this community can hold you accountable.
