Listen, I know you’re tired of the "waiting room" phase of your life. You’ve been holding your breath, waiting for the "perfect" version of yourself to arrive before you start living.

You think that once you've fixed every flaw and mastered every fear, then you’ll be worthy of the life you want.

But that version of you is a mirage. Growth is the willingness to be messy and inconvenient right now.

You don't have to be "healed" to be effective, and you don't have to be certain to be brave. Take the step while your knees are still shaking. The path only appears once you start walking.
