Love this, Klara. The way you described "waiting to feel ready" stood out. I think that's the trap so many fall into. We wait for the cue to feel confident. But in reality, that confidence lives on the other side of feeling and overcoming the discomfort and uncertainty. The attraction itself, as you said, is the real signal.

I have always wanted to climb mountains. This piece makes me want to stop waiting and start that journey.

We learned the wrong cue for "GO"!

The quantity of "reminders" about readiness and taking action is telling, too.

It's incredible when I try to feel into one or the other, how it changes everything.

Thank you for sharing what stood out, Nik. Also, love mountains.

Well for us an example would be flying. I've always wanted to learn how, and I've done it a few times. Then I found out that a drone company made FPV glasses so you can fly the drone from the drone's point of view, and the controller is literally a hand motion control, not a joystick, so its supposed to be very intuitive. The entire kit was a christmas present for my inner child a couple of years ago. still. sitting. in. the. box...

no. way.

That sounds both cool and funny that you even have the tool but let it sit in a box while only visiting the idea from time to time.

Are you able to reach the feeling/reason that keeps it in. the. box... ?

There's a bouldering facility near me. Been thinking of giving it a peek inside. But what really excites me is kickboxing.

Uuuh, when are you going?

I met a guy last weekend in the city who practices kickboxing here. But the gym is too far away from me and from work. I’d have to give up on my early morning sports or writing to go there. I’ll wait for now.
