Readiness Is a Myth: Why Waiting for the Perfect Plan Is Wrecking Your Joy

Let’s call it out: that voice in your head whispering, “If I could just get a plan together, everything would fall into place”?

Yeah. She’s lying to you.

That mindset isn’t helping, it’s hijacking your joy and quietly robbing you of the life you actually want.

👇 Here's how it shows up:

• The project you never start because you’re still “researching”

• The confidence you think you need first (but only builds through action)

• The literal years you spend preparing, planning, tweaking… instead of doing
  

We glamorise planning as productivity, but really? It’s just procrastination in a better outfit.

Because here’s the truth no one’s telling you loud enough:

🔑 Readiness Is a Myth.

You don’t need more time, a clearer vision, or a full strategy to begin. You need movement. You need evidence. And you only get those through action, not another bloody Google Doc of ideas.

🧨 So what do you do instead of waiting for “ready”?

• Take messy, imperfect action.

• Try the thing before you know how it ends.

• Build self-trust by doing, not by obsessively thinking.

  
  

You want a life that feels playful, bold, and deeply joyful? Great. It doesn’t come from planning, Readiness Is a myth. It comes from starting before you feel ready.

Your joy isn’t some prize for getting life “right.”

Joy is the foundation that gives you the energy, resilience and courage to try. And to try again.

💥 Still not convinced?

Look back on your life. The boldest, most meaningful things you’ve ever done, did you feel 100% ready before any of them?

Nope. You did them scared. You did them messy. You did them anyway.

And that’s where your real power is. 💛 Want help getting out of your head and into your life?
