When am I ready?

In my many years of coaching people in their visions and goals, I have been asked countless times when someone can know that they are “ready.”

You know you are truly ready for something when you realize you don’t have to do it, and therefore, you aren’t doing it because you “should.”  You are ready for something when you are doing it because it is an authentic choice based on what is important to you.

You can, of course, accomplish tasks and check boxes from a place of “have-to” or “should”; you just won’t be ready to receive the fulfillment that is available if you were doing it from a place of choice and self-worth.

What if there was no “should”, and only “could”?
