Oh sure, maybe we’re ready for the easy stuff. Ready to leave for work, make dinner, hop in an Uber, do the laundry, pay the credit card bill.
But the work that matters, that enlivens the spirit, that changes us, our tribes and the world around us? That’s another thing entirely.
Naming our fear is helpful, because it is our fear that keeps us stuck.
Letting go of any notion of perfection–the right time, the right skills, the right conditions–is useful as well.
Being willing to get started–to accept that the only way we can ever really know that we are on the right path is to start walking; slowly at first, but faster and faster as we gain confidence–is essential.
Because here’s the thing…
The conditions will never be perfect.
I have no idea what’s going to happen in the future. And neither do you.
Chances are you already have everything you need to take that first step.
And sure it might not work.
Like it or not it’s later than we think.
The fact is we’re never really ready for what really matters.
But we can still start.
What better time than now?
