We often wait for the right timing, the right plan, or the right version of ourselves, hoping that one day things will feel “ready.” But here’s a dose of reality: life is brief, and the perfect moment is but an illusion we have been socialized to pursue.
Go easy on yourself.
You’re navigating a world that doesn’t come with instructions, carrying dreams that sometimes feel too big for the day-to-day tasks in front of you. And yet, you keep going. You keep hoping. You keep imagining something brighter. That alone is worth celebrating.
But don’t just tiptoe through your days, walk boldly. Let your dreams take up space in your voice, in your plans, in your calendar. Dare to want more. Dare to believe that what you feel called to do is not an accident.
Even in the midst of foggy times when the way forward is completely blurry, know that somewhere there is a map, though you can’t see the big picture at this particular moment. Life often unfolds step by step, decision by decision, leap by leap.
So make the journey.
Cook the meal that fills up your house with warmth.
Wear the outfit that makes you feel like you are glowing from inside.
And if something is funny-really funny-show all of your teeth when you laugh. Let joy spill out-without apology.
Stop waiting for the “right” moment…
Stop waiting until you’re “better” or life is “calmer” or you “have more time”.
Today is the perfect time. Not because everything is perfect, but because you’re alive in it. And that’s enough. Start now. Live now. Your life is happening, beautifully, bravely, imperfectly and unmistakably-today.
