I hear this sentence all the time. Shrugged off, sometimes said with a bit of resignation, often with conviction that this is just what it is.

So let me ask you something simple.

Were you good at Pilates before your first class?

You’ve read the books. You’ve taken the courses. Listened to the podcasts, did the meditations. You know you should cancel that subscription, check your bank balance, ask for the raise, open the investment account.

And yet - you don’t.

Instead, you tidy your inbox. Refill your coffee. Check Instagram. Tell yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow when I feel more ready.”

But tomorrow comes, and the to-do still lingers. You don’t lack knowledge (okay, maybe a little). In any case, you also lack something else - something deeper.
