The clock doesn’t care if you feel ready. It ticks the same on good days and bad ones.

Time is entirely indifferent to your state, which is harsh in one sense and freeing in another. Waiting until conditions improve pauses nothing, so the cost of waiting gets paid whether or not the readiness ever turns up. Most people are never as prepared as they intended to be.

Begin at your current level rather than the level you were hoping to reach first. Set the smallest possible first action and do it today. Ability builds while you work, not while you wait for the feeling to arrive.
