LUCIA / Utterly Engaged

START BEFORE YOU’RE READY. ✨ Just the other day I was sitting across a friend who’s trying to start her business, I can see that she couldn’t move forward with her big idea because she was so paralyzed with fear. I wanted to shake her and say “You got this! I believe in you!” But I knew she didn’t want to hear that. Because I was there once too. That feeling of being stuck really sucks. I know what it feels like when you can’t move because you’re afraid to make mistakes, look dumb, make the wrong decision, and most of all afraid that you’re not good enough. So, instead I said to her “Your fear isn’t the enemy. You just waiting for this feeling of fear to stop is. Start before you’re ready.” ___ Friend, these feelings of discomfort of fear are never going to go away because it’s your natural way of body responding to something unknown. If we just stopped every single time and waited until the wave of fear is over we’ll never get anything done. So start before your ready. Take action (big or small) and keep moving forward, because believe me each step will conquer your fear and it’ll move you closer to your success. Have you ever been or currently are feeling stuck by fear too? What’s that one big thing or business idea you haven’t been able to do to? What steps can you do right now to start moving forward? #thepowerfulpivot #pursuecollection #creativeentrepreneur #fineartphotography #growthmindset __ Photo by @lara__lam / Creative Direction @luciapador #utterlyengaged / Production @pldc_xp / Floral Design @rawfinery / Makeup @hikarimurakami / Gown @carolhannahbridal / talent @kmo_18
