Don't wait to be ready

Sometimes we step back from our dreams, goals, or desires because we think we aren't ready but when are you ever ready? In today's entry, I will talk about how this mindset makes us regret a decision we haven't even made and I will also talk about the fact that we are never ready.

This blog entry will be divided into 4 parts

1. Fear

2. "I'm not ready"

3. When are you ready?

4. Losing the fear

Fear

Most people fear that they will fail to try new things. This is because we are so focused on perfection and getting things right that we get nervous and anxious at the thought of failing or not knowing how to do things. This kind of behavior usually comes because other people pressure us to do things perfectly to get A on our exams and we think failure is a negative thing when in reality failure is a positive. Some people also fear not being accepted in a new social circle so they mostly fear not feeling integrated. But if I'm honest the only thing I can say about that is that no one cares if you see you don't fit in a group that's ok. We are not meant to fit in everywhere; if you are doing something you enjoy then that's all that matters.

"I'm not ready"

Let's be honest this frase is just a common excuse/lie you tell yourself because you are scared. Most people use this to make up a reality in their mind and be more secure knowing that they are not ready so they need to wait a little longer to be it when in reality they are just scared of starting something new you know why? Because they are scared that they can't control the situation no matter how hungry they are for it, if they don't have the courage and think that failure is something bad they will always step back from the unknown.

"When are you ready?"

The true answer is that you will never be ready. You will always find excuses to step back and no matter how much practice you do you will never get the chance to learn from them and to experience the true feeling of progress if you stay back so hear me out. YOU NEED TO TRY NEW THINGS. You will never be ready; the more you step back, the more scared you will be.

Losing the fear

To get rid of the fear you need to face the fear. You also need to accept that itś okay to fail and to get things wrong. Not everyone starts by being the best everyone fails over and over again but they never give up. Strong people keep going and they do get embarrassed about their failures they don't see it as a bad thing either. They see it as something incredible. Do you know why? because these people have noticed that every time they make a mistake it will lead them to a better outcome because they are learning. You need to be teachable because you are not always right. You need to learn from your mistakes and love them because they are normal everybody makes mistakes.

So stop waiting to be ready stop waiting for the perfect day, because the truth is that it will never arrive and if you think about it at the end of the day we are humans everyone is scared everyone makes mistakes but you can only evolve by facing does fears and accepting does mistakes.
