You’ve been working.

Researching

Reading

Waiting

Preparing

Practicing

Consulting with others.

Perfecting.

You know what you want.

You’re not sure it will work.

You can’t be certain.

It likely won’t work out the way you imagined.

It might be better.

It might be worse.

But until you go for it?

Whatever you have to offer is nothing.

Until you go for it.

Stop waiting.

No more excuses.

Go for it.

And the fear?

Give a wry little laugh and a nod of your head to the parts of you that hesitate.

Thank them for their concern.

Acknowledge their desire to keep you from the pains of rejection, failure and humiliation.

Go for it.

Break the eggs.

Make the omelet.

Unless going for it means teaching a yoga class.

In which case?

Make the ohm-let.
