You owe your dreams your courage
– Koleka Putuma.
This quote pretty much sums up my experience in starting. I think about all the things that could go wrong and then I fantasize about what would happen if it worked out and the latter encourages me to give it a shot.
The reality is that no matter how close you are to another’s story, it remains theirs. They can’t walk your path for you.
The fear, imposter syndrome, procrastination, failure, lack, and all their relatives are all very real but so is the possibility of greatness. The least we can do is try and then see where it leads us.
There is really no amount of preparation that will ever be ‘enough’ but planning gives you the opportunity to anticipate the best and be prepared for the worst (to some extent anyway)
What. If. You. Fly?
