If we all waited until we felt ready, so many incredible things wouldn’t exist - including the Leader Transition Institute. Annie S. Brock Brock didn’t launch LTI because she had every answer or a perfect plan. She launched it scared. She stepped into the unknown with a vision to help people navigate life’s biggest transitions, especially for those leaving military service. Imagine if she had waited. If she had let fear win. But she didn’t - and because of that, LTI has impacted countless lives, helping people move from uncertainty to clarity, from hesitation to action. Ryan Leak’s ?????????????? ?????????????? reminds us: failure isn’t the worst outcome—inaction is. If you have a calling, a dream, a mission that keeps tugging at you, don’t wait until you feel ready. Take the step. Feel the fear. Do it scared. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #personaldevelopment #zigszagsandpivots

I wish I could tell you I never get nervous, that stepping into the unknown is easy, and that taking risks feels natural. But that’s not true. The truth is, I get scared. I doubt myself. I second-guess whether I have what it takes. But somewhere in my life, I learned something powerful: Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s taking action in spite of it. Ryan Leak captures this so well in ?????????????? ??????????????: ?????? ?????????????? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ???? ?????? ??????????????. He reminds us that failure isn’t something to avoid - it’s something to chase. Why? Because failure means you’re trying. It means you’re in the game. It means you’re stretching beyond what’s comfortable and pushing toward what’s possible. So often, we wait until we feel ready, thinking that confidence will magically appear before we take the first step. But the truth is, confidence is built through action. You don’t feel confident and then move. You move, and then confidence follows. Think about the big moments in your life - starting a new job, speaking in front of an audience, launching a project, stepping into a leadership role. Were you 100% ready? Probably not. But you showed up anyway. And that’s the difference between people who grow and those who stay stuck. Growth happens when we embrace discomfort and act despite fear. The people we admire, the ones who inspire us? They’re not fearless. They’re just willing to do it scared. So today, I’m asking you - what’s the thing you’ve been avoiding because it feels too big, too risky, too uncertain? What if you decided to take the step anyway? What if you embraced the fear, knowing that action is the only way forward? Because the worst thing isn’t failing. The worst thing is never trying at all.
