We put so much pressure on ourselves sometimes to be exactly where we want to be, and to have everything figured out, when in essence, these things build on themselves.
One decision to take action will provide you with new feedback, and I think we often confuse that feedback for failure. Truth be told, if you don’t ever go for it, you won’t receive that information you need to ultimately learn and grow. That is where it comes from!
Brick by brick, we learn new skills, we become a new person in our pursuit of what it is we truly desire.
For so long I sat back and waited for the perfect time to launch a business, to go after the thing it is I truly wanted all along. I was waiting for that perfect moment of when I’d be exactly ready to make it happen..
..Perfect is relative, and it’s challenging to define. What really is perfect? We have to be ok with understanding that we will not know that answer, because the goalpost always moves. You become somebody one day, and then you grow and change and evolve into a completely new person.
So, would you rather evolve toward, “wherever the wind blows you,” or are you going to choose to be intentional and build that into the evolutionary framework of what is inevitably going to move forward in this universe either way?
The choice is yours. Every morning we get to wake up and decide how we are going to show up, and what we are going to do with our lives to create the kind of results we’re looking for. It is totally ok not to know what’s on the other side of those decisions. That’s part of the mystery of what makes life so fun!
It’s when we get caught up in doing something day in and day out that we’re not passionate about that we lose focus and get comfortable with creating stories about how we’re not perfectly ready to make a change.
You are always ready! God has a plan for you, and it’s bigger than anything you could ever imagine. Work daily at developing the trust and faith that even in the face of fear and uncertainty, you can still move forward. You can still choose to grow into the person who you’ve intentionally been working on becoming.
It’s ok to not be totally ready. What’s important is to go for it, and to understand that the way is already here. The path will reveal itself to you as soon as you start taking steps in the direction of your dreams and goals.
“The cave you fear to enter most hold the treasure you seek.” Go there, and build the confidence to design the life you have always dreamed about.
