Are you ready ?

When you're about to do something BIG, how do you know you're ready ?

You can prepare, train and plan certainly. The old adage about failing to plan = planning to fail comes to mind, but when it comes down to it, when there's no more prep time, and it's now perform or die......you have to decide if you're ready.

This, like so many things in our lives is a mental state - it's a mind-game we play with ourselves. We can be certain to fail - and probably not disappoint that inner voice; or we can be determined to succeed and do our utmost to achieve that end.

When it comes down to it, to that moment when you're stepping on stage, standing up in front of the customer, facing the other player to be tackled literally or figuratively, or looking up at the mountain to be climbed - each of us has to decide.

It's what makes life interesting, the placing of yourself into those situations where you test your own resolve. Some thrive on it, others cringe in front of it. In the end it's very personal for each person and few others have access or insight into us as we make the choice.

What about you...are you ready ?
