Between doubt and doing
Confidence rarely shows up first. It’s the reward, not the ticket. The pause before you begin something that matters isn’t a waiting room you have to sit out. It’s where the real work happens. Name the doubt, shrink the step until it's almost silly, and walk forward with slightly shaky hands.
