Other VictoriesOvercoming Fear
I moved before confidence arrived
Dear Delyara, I think I finally understand that confidence often comes later. This week I acted while still feeling uncertain, visible, a little exposed, and not entirely ready. I did not wait for the magical emotional moment where all fear disappears and the body suddenly feels perfectly prepared. If I waited for that every time, I would lose too much life. So I moved first. And the confidence came a little after, exactly as everyone says but I never fully trusted until now. That feels useful. Very useful.
