Readiness is not a requirement
❝
Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
Seneca, Letters
A lot of things don’t get done because we’re waiting to feel ready.
Ready enough. Confident enough. Certain enough.
Stoicism has very little patience for that delay. Not because preparation is bad, but because “ready” is usually just fear asking for better lighting.
You don’t become ready and then act.
You act, and readiness follows.
Most worthwhile things are started while feeling slightly unprepared.
That’s normal. That’s human.
If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing even before you feel like an expert.
Stay hungry. Stay wise. Eat brekkie.
