You're More Ready Than You Think
Perhaps you keep thinking about taking intentional steps towards that thing you’d still love to see manifested in your lifetime.
Maybe you’ve been dabbling with it, on and off, for a while…
While you usually spend a lot of your time devoted to demands from work, family and other responsibilities…
…even though you’ve achieved excellence in your life, on some level you know you are still under-being.
But you just don’t feel ready yet to go for it.
Somehow, it never feels like quite the right time.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This is exactly how I felt too.
So I wanted to talk about this idea of ‘feeling ready’ in today’s blog post.
[On a separate note, if you know coaches or HR professionals, please show them our certification program.]
Not feeling ready is normal
Taking a bold step towards that thing you’ve been wanting requires you to do something new and to step outside your comfort zone—so your ego will naturally hate that idea.
It likes certainty and familiarity. It also wants to protect you from the pain of trying and ‘failing’ at something new.
The “I don’t feel ready yet” trap
By telling yourself that you’re not ready, you will subconsciously keep searching for evidence that proves your point.
It feels comfortable to say you’re not ready, because you’re not shutting anything down or ruling anything out. Yet months can slip by like this, leaving you in a state of limbo.
The big secret…
The key to moving forward is understanding that you’re never going to feel ready.
There will always be doubts and there will always be reasons to put this off.
But you become ready by taking action.
Flip your focus and start thinking about why you are ready to dedicate time towards that one thing that would make you feel completely fulfilled.
Could this perhaps be the perfect time?
