On August 20, we cut through the illusion of “waiting for the right time.” This empowering talk reveals why perfect timing doesn’t exist, how fear often hides behind logic, and why momentum — not waiting — is what creates clarity. If you’ve been postponing a dream, a decision, or a change, this is your reminder that it's the right time.

Hey love,

If you're waiting for the right time,

You've already missed it.

We tell ourselves we're being patient,

That we're preparing,

That we're waiting for the moment when everything lines up.

But the truth is,

That moment doesn't exist.

There will be never a day when the fear is gone,

The stars are perfectly aligned and you suddenly feel 100% ready.

What's actually happening is that waiting becomes a habit.

It feels safe because it means you don't have to take the leap yet.

You can stay in the familiar,

Dreaming,

Planning,

Perfecting,

Without risking failure or change.

And here's the part most people miss.

Fear loves to wear the mask of logic.

It whispers,

It's not the right time yet,

You're not ready,

You need more clarity,

More resources,

More proof.

But that's not wisdom speaking,

That's fear trying to protect you from the unknown.

The truth is,

Clarity doesn't come before action,

It comes because of action.

You won't know the next step until you take the one in front of you.

You won't see the path until you start walking it.

So today I want you to ask yourself,

What have I been postponing because I'm waiting for the right time?

What if that right time is now?

Let this be the moment you stop waiting and start moving.

Even if your voice shakes,

Even when your heart pounds,

Even if the ground beneath you feels uncertain,

Because momentum creates clarity,

Action builds confidence,

And once you begin,

The universe rushes into meeting you.

Take a breath,

Choose one small step today.

Let it be imperfect,

Let it be messy,

But let it be real.

The right time isn't coming,

You are the right time.

It's the proverbial leap of faith. We tremble in hesitation. We falter in fear. We plan, we theorize, we plan some more. Until the pain of stasis becomes too much to bear. Then we jump, or crawl, or take just one baby step. Not today? Then, when?
