Stop calling it “stuck.” That’s a sophisticated word for hiding.
You aren’t afraid of failing. You’ve failed before. You survived. You’re afraid of what it would mean if you actually went all in… and found out you were never the problem.
So you soften the truth. You make it sound responsible.
“What if I make the wrong move and it costs me everything?”
“What if I outgrow the people I love?”
“What if I disappoint the ones counting on me?”
“What if I finally try… and I’m still not enough?”
“What if I succeed and I can’t keep it?”
Lies.
Those are agreements you’ve made with your nervous system to keep your world small and predictable.
Safety is an illusion. Stagnation is a slow death.
I didn’t get here by waiting for approval. I got here by losing the ability to tolerate my own hesitation.

The explosion didn’t happen because the time was right. It happened because I stopped negotiating with the outside world and decided my future was absolute.
There is no perfect time.
There is only the moment staying the same becomes more painful than the leap.
The fear isn’t real.
But the regret will be.
Burn the boat. Climb the mountain.
