My head is always fuming with wonderful ideas. I can imagine beautiful things and plans in my head. I have all it takes to fashion ideas and fantasize. I create and build imaginary and fictive castles. But they are never put in action.
A voice constantly tells me: you are not ready. You need more time. You need to learn more and to be perfect. Be well prepared to avoid embarassment and shame. You deserve recognition and if you fail that is all for you. Finally, I procastinate and put things I can do today for tomorrow. Saboteurs! Ironically nothing never took place and seems never to take place if I keep thinking the same way but expect different results. I am a liar to myself.
Taking action is the right thing to do. I don't need to be perfect. I just need to start from somewhere and let it be. Delaying to take action keeps be behind my dream and never ready. Starting something exposes me and offers me the opportunity to see myself in the scene and to change. Change is for all of us provided there is openness to grow. A journey, no matter its distance, starts with the first move, the first step: either on foot, on your bike or in your car. All wishes, no matter their value, need the first action.
So, I have more reasons for taking action: I loose nothing. Doubting my abilities will always keep me unprepared. It is hard to leave fear behind and to face my demons. Nobody ever won by the first move. Good things need time. Sudden succes belongs to dreamers. There is always a time of trial and error then discovery. I really don't need to be ready before I start. Let me just go for it!
let me just start! it is ok to fail!
