You know you’re capable.
You know you can do it.
And yet… you hesitate.
Not because you lack the skills.
Not because you haven’t put in the work.
Not because you’re unprepared.
So what’s really holding you back?
Is it the fear of being told no?
The fear of not being chosen?
The quiet voice that whispers you’re “not good enough,” even though your experience says otherwise?
Sometimes the hardest part of going after a dream isn’t the work—it’s giving yourself permission to try.
We talk ourselves out of opportunities before anyone else ever can. We convince ourselves that now isn’t the right time, that we need one more certification, one more year, one more sign before we’re allowed to take the next step. But deep down, we already know we’re ready.
Growth requires courage. Not the absence of fear—but the decision to move forward despite it.
So ask yourself:
- What am I afraid will happen if I try?
- What am I risking if I don’t?
- Whose approval am I waiting for?
You already know what you want.
You already know what you’re capable of.
The real question is this:
What would happen if you stopped letting fear make the decisions for you?
