Stop Waiting for the Perfect Moment

Aug 17, 2025


Ever catch yourself saying,

“I’ll start when life calms down”?

We all do.

It’s such an easy promise to make to ourselves:
“I’ll go for it when work slows down.”
“I’ll sign up when the kids are older.”
“I’ll take that trip when I have more money.”

It feels responsible. Thoughtful. Wise.
But here’s the truth no one tells us: the perfect moment doesn’t exist.

Life doesn’t send a memo saying, “Okay, you’re ready now.”
If we wait for perfect conditions, we’ll still be waiting years from now—circling the starting line, wishing we’d begun sooner.

The truth is, the most transformative changes don’t happen when everything is calm.
They happen right in the middle of the chaos, the questions, and the uncertainty.
They happen when we choose to take the next step anyway.

Our brains crave certainty.
They tell us to wait until we “know more,” “have more,” or “feel ready.”
But waiting just rehearses hesitation.
It builds the habit of holding back instead of moving forward.

I’ve seen it in my own life.
If I’d waited for the perfect moment, I never would have:

  • Written my book Fearless Living
  • Become certified in personal coaching
  • Studied energetic body work
  • Learned The Emotion Keys

And here’s the truth—none of those happened when life was calm.
They happened while I was juggling work, family, and plenty of uncertainty.

When you start—even in a small, messy, imperfect way—you send yourself a powerful message: I can trust myself to follow through.

That self-trust is what creates unstoppable momentum.
Not more time. Not more planning. Not more “someday.”

Pick one thing you’ve been putting off for “when the timing is right” and start it—today:

  •  Send the email
  •  Sign up for the class
  •  Take the walk
  •  Write the first paragraph

You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.
One bold step at a time.
