a scared start still gets you somewhere and somewhere is everything compared to the nowhere of waiting
everybody talks about the people who started scared and succeeded
nobody talks about the ones still sitting at the starting line
waiting to feel ready...waiting for the doubt to leave....waiting for the perfect moment that keeps moving further away the closer you get to it
here is what I know now
ready is not a feeling that arrives before you begin. it is a feeling that shows up because you began. you do not wait for courage and then move. you move and then courage catches up.
and that thing you are calling laziness...it is not laziness
laziness does not care. and you care so much it is eating you alive.
what you are feeling is fear wearing a very convincing disguise. fear of trying and still not being enough. fear of wanting something this badly and losing it. fear of finding out that you gave it everything and it still did not work
that is not laziness. that is a heart that is deeply, painfully invested.
so here is what you do
you make the step so small the fear does not notice. not the whole thing. not even half of it. one sentence. one minute. one tiny movement toward the thing. something so small it almost feels like it does not count.
almost counting still counts.
and here is the most important thing nobody tells you about fear and doubt.....you do not have to wait for them to leave before you begin.....they can come with you...just do not let them drive
start anyway. start badly. start with shaking hands and a head full of doubt and zero certainty that it will work out
because a scared start still gets you somewhere
and somewhere is everything compared to the nowhere of waiting 🤍
