When you are not sure if you're ready

Most of us ever asked themselves if they are ready to start something new - a business, a relationship, or else. My intention here is not to remind you that "you'll never feel absolutely ready, do it anyway". I know you are tired of all the popular positivity cliché. I just want to share some thoughts that may help you find the right decision for you.

Thinking about all the obstacles you may have in front of you, can I challenge you to evaluate from another perspective - is it possible that you are the only obstacle? Many often, the one that is blocking us, is our mindset - underestimation, fears, excuses... Think about what might be the reason behind the feeling of not being ready. Think about what might be the reason behind the uncertainty and doubt about something or someone.
We are constantly learning after all. And yes, you'll never feel absolutely knowledgeable and brave to realize an idea, so waiting for the perfect timing, is pointless. The only way to get over this is by doing, by doing you will learn, when you learn you will feel competent, when you feel competent you will develop your confidence. Your results will give you the reassurance and evidence that you need to know that you are more than enough and tell you what you need to do next.
It is OK not to fit in. Biggest drama in life is caused by the fact we are different. Life, in its entirety, is different in our eyes. There is no "one size fits all" or socially accepted life framework that we have to follow. You do not want what other people want (as we are different). Then, why are you interested in what they have, what they want, what they think? Focus only on what you want and nothing else. Stop thinking about the others, stop to compare, or doubt what your inner voice says.
But at the end the most important questions that you need to ask yourself are: What does your life look like now? If you don’t realize your idea now, what will your life look like? If you do it now, what will your life look like? How the honest answers of these questions make you feel?

If this post finds you at a consideration stage, get it as a sign and... better start planning your life change right now...
