You don't have to be ready, you just have to be brave!

You're not behind. You're not broken and you're not failing either.

Taking the first step can always be scary. It's normal to feel unsure.

Everyone waits to feel "ready." Ready enough, confident enough, or certain enough.

Feeling ready is a myth that we make up to protect ourselves from fear.

Be brave and apply anyways. Be brave and start messy! Be brave and say: "I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going to try."

Bravery is choosing to start, over chasing perfection!

It's okay to not be fearless. You may wake up scared, but you should go anyways.

You can be scared and brave at the same time. You can doubt but still take the first step.

You can carry fear in one hand and hope in the other.

Remember to get up if you fall, and if you "fail", you can always try, and try again. As many times as you need to!

Be brave today, even if it's in the smallest way possible.

Clean your clutter, send the message, sign your name.

Take the step.

with love,
