“I've been waiting to feel ready before I commit to anything.”

APX · Pillar II, Apex APX-VI · Reject the Victim. Become the Author.

Readiness is largely a feeling, and it follows action, it does not precede it. The author doesn't wait until the conditions of the story are perfect before writing. They write, and the conditions respond.

Your Practice

Name the commitment you've been delaying. Set a start date, today if possible, this week at the latest. Write the single smallest action that constitutes beginning. Do only that. Readiness will either arrive after you start or it won't arrive at all.

The Architects

“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”
