There’s only one thing that can stop you — and it’s not lack of money, education, or opportunity. It’s the belief that you’re not ready. In this episode of Morning Motivation, we reframe the idea of being “not ready” as exactly where you need to be. Sometimes, your mission is to prepare. Sometimes, it’s to heal, to learn, to grow — so when the moment comes, you are everything you were made to be.
🗓️ Morning Motivation is a daily podcast to help you step into your purpose — one small but powerful episode at a time.

There is only one thing that can possibly stop you and that is you. Now, you may think, I don't have what I need yet. I don't know what I need. I don't have the resources, the money, the education, the certification, the network, something this or that is missing. But that may be because you are not ready to face the final boss yet.
Your calling, your mission right now may be to prepare. Your mission right now may be to grow, may be to acquire. Are those resources, those tools, those talent, those skills, you may be growing and preparing and leveling up, so you're ready to face that challenge. We grow throughout our lives and at any given point, we can look back and say, in the past, I was less prepared than I am now, but today I am better.
And by following that trend line, you know that tomorrow you'll be even better than you are now. We're never good enough. We're never finished. We're never perfect. We are always preparing, and that may mean that today you're not ready, but. That doesn't mean that you're not ready to take your next step. It means you're not ready for your final challenge.
You're not ready for your ultimate achievement. You're not ready for the apotheosis of your mission. Maybe your mission right now is to prepare for your mission. Maybe your mission is to prepare to prepare. For your mission, maybe you have wounds, you need to heal into scars. Maybe you have something in your past you need to overcome, and once you have done that, that will reveal the path that will make clear where you need to go, that will make straight the road that you are meant.
To follow right now. Don't worry about what you don't have. Focus on what you do have and the clear signs given to you of what your next step is. Maybe you are not meant to be a millionaire tomorrow. Maybe you're not meant to be a millionaire ever, but maybe you are meant to share a message 27 years from now.
And today is the day you lay the groundwork, the first step on that path. Maybe you will never stand in front of millions. Maybe you'll change one life, and that one life will change one more, and that one more will change the world. It's not up to us to question. It's up to us to seek what is our mission today?
Right now? What are we called to do here and now?
