We’ve been told to wait until the right moment.
Until we feel confident.
Until the timing is perfect.
Until we have every possible outcome mapped in our minds.
However, if you wait until you feel completely ready, you might never take the leap.
The Myth Of Being Ready
You know that job you wanted to apply for but thought you weren’t qualified enough?
That conversation you’ve been avoiding because you weren’t sure how it would land?
That creative project you’ve been sitting on until inspiration magically strikes?
We wait because we want safety and certainty.
We think ready means we won’t fail.
That we won’t feel fear.
That we’ll know exactly what we’re doing.
Yet, here’s our reality…
Ready isn’t a feeling.
It’s a decision.
Do It Scared
Big things rarely come with the comfort of feeling fully prepared.
The first steps toward anything worth doing, a career shift, a new relationship, a passion project, almost always feel shaky.
Fear and uncertainty are normal.
The trick isn’t waiting for them to disappear.
It’s moving forward while they walk beside you.
Do it afraid.
Do it unsure.
Do it anyway.
The Pursuit Happens In Motion
When you start, even if it’s messy, even if you feel like you’re making it up as you go, you put yourself in a position to learn.
You see what works and what doesn’t.
You make adjustments.
You gather experience you can’t get from standing still.
Take your shot.
Then refine your aim as you move.
Or as we say at The Pursuit Counselling, “Ready. Fire. Aim.”
It’s not recklessness.
It’s responsiveness.
It’s how growth happens.
How Ready, Fire, Aim Applies To Therapy
Therapy is one of those things many people wait to feel ready for.
They wait until the stress is overwhelming.
Until the relationship is hanging by a thread.
Until they’ve tried everything else.
But therapy doesn’t require you to have the perfect words, the perfect plan, or the perfect timing.
It just requires you to show up.
Just like in other areas of life, you can start before you feel fully ready.
You can figure it out as you go.
You can adjust your aim along the way.
