Beware of the “Readiness Trap”

How many times have you wanted to take a huge leap, but the fear of the future prevented you from doing something?

Fear and uncertainty keep you from taking the risks that you need to grow – and survive.

There’s no such thing as certainty.

Readiness is an illusion. A mirage.

There will always be something that keeps you from being ready

There is only this moment, a moment of intention and desire to try something new. To make a change. To take control.

If you’re waiting to be ready it is because you are afraid of something – whether you want to admit it or not.

The best way around this is to ask yourself the really uncomfortable question: “What would I do if I was not afraid?”

That’s where we find the courage to leap.

There is no such thing as ready. There is only now.
