Never Feeling Ready

I am not ready.

I want it to be perfect. The procrastinator problem.

It may not be the right path. The worry woe.

I am unsure. The doubt dilemma.

I am not ready. A lame lament.

Harsh, perhaps.

If you are working on something that is important to you, scratching an internal itch for something you want to achieve, then you may never feel ready. You may never feel ready to step fully into the Journey, or never feel ready to share your vision or work with the world.

Taking up a challenge, answering a calling, it is difficult work. It is scary. We are human, fully equipped with doubts, fears, and uncertainties. We are also fully equipped with all the resources we will ever need to be, do, or have all that we desire. This includes the ability to find a way, or create a way. The ability to learn what needs to be learned. The ability to figure it out.

You are empowered with everything you need. All that you are, all that you have right now is enough. The skills, the drive, the desire – it is all enough.

What is it that you want? To start a business, lose weight, run a marathon, write a book, become a yoga instructor, teach a junior college course in ceramics, learn how to ice skate, adopt a special needs puppy, jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Whatever it is…

Begin. Launch. Get going.

Stop balking. The time is now.

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and Magic in it. Begin it now.” – Goethe

“Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.” – Beverly Sills

“Doubt and delay are evidence of a disconnection from faith and courage. Do not doubt that you can be a person of greatness, nor delay the acts of strength and love that will prove it.” – Brendon Burchard

“If you have any negative recurring emotion in your life, doesn’t maturity require you to face it and say ‘hey, how do I fix this?'” – Brendon Burchard
