All it takes is a decision
I’ve been writing for years. It’s always been my most useful tool to understand myself. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to help people, not for any specific reason, it just felt natural to me.
As time passed, I kept meeting people who genuinely valued my advice and perspective on all types of situations. And still, even though publishing a book has been one of my biggest dreams since I was eight years old, I kept delaying it, pushing back creating a blog, writing the first drop, or posting consistently on social media.
A month ago, I finally decided to stop running from it. To choose the version of me who actually executes. Since then, everything has been flowing. I hired a graphic designer who’s already working on the direction and layout of the first four finished chapters. I’ve drafted 80% of the book. I’m collaborating with people I admire on the marketing and promotion side.
It all started with one decision.
We take our time and talents for granted so easily. We consume other people’s content all day without creating our own. We let time pass, get caught in distractions and projects that aren’t aligned with our true desires… until something inside us chooses differently.
It’s the decision to bet on ourselves, no matter what.
No matter how long it takes, who supports us, or what goes wrong along the way. I’ve felt so much more fulfilled and less stressed ever since I shifted into daily execution, with no rigid plan.
I used to stay stuck in over-planning my whole life, thinking it would protect me from failure. But life taught me the opposite: if something needs to fall apart, it will. Not to punish you or because you’re unworthy, but to redirect you into a path that aligns more deeply with who you are.
Letting go of attachment to my plans has been liberating. I can respect my dislikes, pivot when something doesn’t fulfill me, and redirect my energy without guilt. There’s no final destination to rush toward, life is happening now, not after I achieve “xyz.”
I’m not trying to escape my current reality anymore. Instead, I’m focusing on what I’m good at, what I know will elevate me, and what I can execute today. I’m no longer rushing through the process hoping to feel better after an accomplishment. I’m choosing presence, discipline, and trust.
Questions to reflect on:
What plan are you holding onto that might not be working for you anymore?
What have you been postponing that would actually change your life if you started today?
Where are you consuming instead of creating?
What part of you is afraid to bet on yourself?
What would trusting your execution, not your plans, look like right now?
