Stop Waiting to Feel Ready (Day 2)

I was supposed to start filming videos four months ago.

The blogs were written. The ideas were great. I even said I’d start “next week.” That was 16 weeks ago.

The truth? I wasn’t waiting for the perfect videographer or a better set-up. I was waiting to feel ready. Waiting to feel like I was good enough.

But readiness is a lie the mind tells you to delay your life. A clever disguise for fear.

I told myself I wanted to create great work. But what I really wanted was to avoid judgment. Because what if I showed up fully… and still wasn’t good enough?

That’s the trap.

It feels like you’re just being smart. Like you’re “not quite there yet.” But really, you’re scared. Scared to start. Scared to be seen. Scared that your best might fall short.

But here’s the thing: Nobody ever feels ready.

Not the people launching companies. Not the ones giving TED talks. Not even the athletes walking into the stadium. You don’t become ready and then step forward. You step forward, and that’s how you become ready.

You earn confidence through motion. You become capable by trying. You grow through exposure.

So this is your sign —To stop waiting. To stop preparing. To stop rehearsing the version of you that might be able to show up in the future.

Start with the version you are right now.

Whatever you’ve been avoiding — the post, the video, the decision — take a step toward it today. Not because you’re fully ready. But because you’re done waiting.

Let the fear come with you. Let your imperfections be seen. Let the world watch you struggle if that's what it takes.

Because one day you’ll look back and realise: The work you did when you weren’t ready…was the bravest work you ever did.

And that can change everything.
