What if you never tried?

We often wait before taking action.

We hold out for the perfect time, full support, or reassurance that we won’t fail.

The truth is: the world is not going to hand you a permission slip, and your confidence won’t come before action… it comes because of action.

Every small step you take–every imperfect attempt–builds proof that you can.

The belief you have in yourself builds when you show up, not when you get validation from everyone and everything.

All of the doubt, skepticism, and “nos” aren’t signs that you shouldn’t start.

Resistance is a tool you can use to sharpen your clarity and guide your next move, instead of letting it paralyze you.

Don’t wait until things are perfect… start by being authentic.
Don’t wait until things are flawless… start by being vulnerable.
Don’t wait until things are polished… start with being messy.

When you realize you don’t have to wait to feel confident or wait for the applause, you’ll learn that all you have to do is start.

So instead of worrying about what if it all goes wrong, ask yourself…

“What do I have the power to create?”

Yesterday I was joined by bestselling author and journalist Michael Pollan on On Purpose for a deeply thoughtful exploration of consciousness, attention, and what it truly means to be present. Known for reshaping how we think about food, nature, and the human mind, Michael shared why his work always begins with curiosity rather than certainty. Together, we unpacked how perception shapes reality and why the most important questions in life aren’t meant to be solved quickly, but lived with patiently.

Try This: Today I want you to pick one small action toward the idea or project that’s been whispering to you.

This is a practice of stepping into the first moment of discomfort.

When you’ve finished, I want you to reply to this email and let me know how it felt to try something new.
