Becoming Ready: Trusting the Process of Growth

Yesterday, we explored the idea that we can only change ourselves and only when we are ready. Just like a dragon who knows when it is the right time to shed its old scales, we understand that true change comes from within and on our own terms. This conviction is about recognizing that change cannot be forced by external pressures; it is a decision made when we feel genuinely prepared.

🥚 But what happens when we aren’t ready yet? When the path ahead feels daunting and our wings don’t feel strong enough to take that next big leap?

🥚🐉 That’s where today’s conviction comes in: Sometimes, we are not ready to stretch, but can become ready.

Growth is not always about immediate action; it’s about allowing ourselves the time and space to build the strength and confidence to stretch when the moment is right. We might not always feel prepared to tackle every challenge or seize every opportunity right away, and that’s perfectly okay.

💪🏿🐲 Readiness is something we can cultivate over time.

Just as a young dragon may hesitate before it takes flight over the tallest mountains, we, too, might need to take smaller steps, build resilience, and prepare ourselves gradually for the journey ahead.

🪨🔨🐉 This conviction reminds us that while we may not be ready now, we can work toward readiness at our own pace. Becoming ready is an active process that involves patience, self-compassion, and growth in ways that are meaningful to us.

🗿💚 Today, let’s embrace the understanding that it’s okay not to be ready to stretch immediately. Trust that readiness can be developed and nurtured, and when the time is right, you’ll find the strength to soar higher than you ever imagined.

Jump!!! What if you fall on your face? You’ll need to try again! And sometimes again, again, and again!! Sometimes a stop, a rethink, a pause, a reflection, then when we are ready, again!!! That’s exactly how I became the person I am today ❤️‍🔥 never giving up on myself.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t ready to stretch, but later found yourself growing into readiness?
