“It's not a question of being ready or not, it's a question of being willing.”
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
When we talk about doing something new or challenging, it's not always about whether we feel fully prepared. Instead, it's more about whether we are open and willing to start. Imagine you want to learn how to swim, but you keep telling yourself you're not ready because you haven't practiced enough or learned all the techniques. If you wait until you feel 100% ready, you might never even get in the pool. But if you are willing to try, even if you're unsure, you can start learning and improving right away. In life, many opportunities pass us by because we hesitate, thinking we aren't ready. However, by being willing to take that first step, we show courage and can grow from the experience. For example, many people fear public speaking because they believe they need to be perfect before they can start. But those who are willing to speak in front of others, despite feeling nervous, often find that they get better with each attempt. So, in anything you want to do, focus on your willingness to try rather than waiting until you feel completely prepared.
