Do not wait until you are ready

Every one of us has stood at the threshold of our comfort zone wondering whether to stay within our cosy little hell or walk into the wild of our unknown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when we know exactly what we need to do, we have all found ourselves waiting at the crossroads of hate or healing, anger or forgiveness, of surrendering into the sacred messiness of love or closing our hearts off from it — waiting until we feel ready to begin, to heal, to love. Planning + preparing + procrastinating. Hoping that magic moment will come when we finally know exactly what to do + where to go + where we’ll end up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we wait + we wait + we wait. And ready never comes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And slowly, very slowly, we discover that we never had to feel ready, we only have to be brave — and that beyond all the waiting + planning, there is a simple door + all we ever had to do was stop waiting + walk through it.
