Lately, I have been reflecting on the turning points in my journey in life, those moments that felt uncertain, challenging, even overwhelming. The pattern I see is that every significant step forward has been guided by three simple decisions: choosing the challenge, letting go, and taking action even when I did not feel ready.

1. Choose the challenge
Growth happens with discomfort, not in your comfort zone. The biggest breakthroughs often come wrapped in uncertainty. I have learned that the things that stretch me the most were the very things that helped me grow. Do hard things. They soon become easy.

2. Let go of what no longer serves you
Holding on to what is familiar can feel safe, but sometimes it keeps us from stepping into something better. Over the years, I have had to release habits, environments, and relationships that no longer fit my plans. Alignment is key for progress and growth. Letting go is not always loss, it is making space for something new.

3. Step forward before you feel ready
I have never felt fully ready for any big leap I have taken. Anxiety and fear have been constant companions. The reason behind any seemingly bold or risky action I take is simple, I move despite my fears. I have realised that clarity comes in motion, not in waiting. If you are hesitating on something important, take the step anyway. The pieces will fall into place as you move. It always comes full circle. Many times you go first and figure it out along the way.

So, if you are standing at a crossroads, wondering if it is the right time to move, here is my advice,

Go for it!
Choose the challenge.
Release what is holding you back.
Take that step forward before you feel ready.

And lest I forget, act fast, before your brain starts to analyse and talk you out of it.

Sure, I have pondered many decisions, but some of the best decisions I have taken in life were quick.

So, if it challenges you and aligns with your vision, go for it, fast!
