Didn’t we just get here?
Well, yes, but there’s been a lot going on.
It just seems too soon.
Yeah, to me too. But this is it.
I gotta tell you, I just don’t feel ready for what’s next.
I know, it’s hard to feel ready when things are moving so fast.
I really mean it, I’m not ready.
I understand. It’s hard to go from knowing to doing, but this really is the time and we’ve got to go.
I wish I felt better, like I knew what was going to happen.
Someone once told me, “If you’re ready, you’ve waited too long.” I didn’t like it when I heard it but I realized that the thing that keeps me from acting isn’t my lack of ability but my negative opinion about my ability. Anyway, the clock is ticking…
Ok, then…how do I start?
Oh, that’s the best part: you say “thank you” to what’s been and “yes” to what’s to come.
I can do that.
I know you can.
Thank you.
Yes.
