What’s that thing you want to do? You know, that thing that both scares and excites the hell out of you, and you keep thinking you should just do it. That thing.

How do you know when you’re ready?

Sometimes you get a pretty clear sign or experience that can guide you into what you need to do. Other times, you’re never really sure. This ‘thing’ can range from a new career path/job, something you’ve never experienced before or place you’ve never been to, etc. If it’s continuously in the back of your mind and you’re envisioning a great experience, trip, career, and you’re envisioning success with that, then you have to do it. Make sure you’re able to live and support yourself if it’s something you need to do for free for a while, but you have to try it. If it’s something you constantly think about and believe you will do well in, you’d be upset with yourself if you didn’t try.

If you try and fail, what’s the worst that can happen? Back where you started? It’s amazing what doors open when you put some energy towards something. Trust me.

Get to a point in your life (soon) where you can take that leap of faith and take it. I think most of your reading this would be upset down the road if you didn’t do it now. Please don’t be that person wishing they had done something. I’m young and feel like I’m late to the party on a few things but my time to start was when it was my time to start. That’s the hardest part, so get it over with.
