It’s that very moment of doubt that puts us in uneasiness. Am I ready? Am I ready to jump? Am I ready for the exam? Am I ready for college? Am I ready for this job? Am I ready to confess to her/him? The most important moment of doubt is when you start asking that question, am I ready to grow up?

With every stage of our life, with every step, we doubt our actions. That moment is what I hate most in my life. It’s like a constant reminder that life will never get easier. With every choice, I’ll have to face the consequences. The good and the miserable. Funny, but sometimes I dream of having a me from the future to tell me; yes do that. Or No! It would turn to hell on land if you did that.

Then, I would think of myself as a coward for such a dream. I have to be brave to face life. Whatever the consequences of my decisions were, I’ll have to face them bravely. Life is a journey that only the courageous would enjoy the ride. Sometimes I wonder if life is troublesome for routine lovers, as whatever they plan, life will always surprise them. However, that’s what life is meant to be. Everyone of us is the hero of their own story, there will be plot twists, climax, and even cliffhangers. We create them along the way.

So the next time you ask yourself “Am I ready?” Know that just the fact that you asked yourself that makes you ready. Because you doubting your choices, means that you thought it through and ready for what is coming.

One more thing. Remember that whatever bad out come that might be, it is just a plot twist or a test. You will eventually reach your happy ending. Muster your courage and go for it! You are ready!
