You’re not waiting. You’re hiding.

Let's get honest about what's really happening when you hesitate.

You're not waiting for more information or better conditions or the perfect moment. We both know the things you’re waiting for won’t arrive.

You're waiting for it to feel easier. For the fear to disappear. For confidence to fill your spirit before action.

But that's not how it works.

I saw this over the holidays with someone I know. He knew the conversation he needed to have. Had known for three months. Kept waiting to "feel ready." But he was genuinely scared.

Finally had the conversation anyway—still scared, still uncertain. It didn’t go the way he wanted, but it didn’t go as badly as he imagined.

His action didn’t deliver an immediate final solution, but it got the ball rolling and removed the weight of anxiety he’d been carrying. And no small amount of guilt for taking as long as he did to have that conversation.

That's the pattern. The conversation you’re avoiding keeps getting harder in your mind, not easier. The workout you keep delaying feels more intimidating, not less. The decision you keep postponing gets scarier, not safer.

You'll know you're breaking this pattern when you start taking action even when you don’t feel ready. That uncomfortable feeling is proof you're doing it right.

Hesitation promises relief. It delivers regret.

Make the leap. Do the work.
