New month. New energy. And if you’re reading this, it’s time for new action.
There’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in self-help circles: “What’s for you won’t pass you by.” It sounds comforting, doesn’t it? Like the universe is holding your dreams in a cosmic layaway, waiting for the perfect moment to deliver them to your doorstep.
But here’s what that phrase is missing: What’s for you is FOR YOU—but you still have to go get it.
The Waiting Game We Play With Ourselves
We’ve all done it. We wait for the “right time” to start the business. We wait until we have more money to invest in ourselves. We wait until we feel more confident to put ourselves out there. We wait for someone to give us permission, validation, or a sign from the universe.
And while we’re waiting, life is happening. Opportunities are moving. Other people are taking action. Time is passing.
The truth? There will never be a perfect moment. You will never feel 100% ready. The conditions will never be ideal.
What “Taking Action NOW” Really Means
When I say go get what you want NOW, I’m not talking about reckless, unplanned chaos. I’m talking about breaking the paralysis of perpetual preparation.
It means:
Making the messy start instead of planning the perfect launch. Your first attempt doesn’t have to be flawless. It just has to exist.
Sending the email you’ve rewritten seventeen times. Hit send. The overthinking is costing you more than any imperfect wording ever could.
Applying for the opportunity even when you only meet 60% of the qualifications. Let them tell you no. Don’t do it for them.
Having the difficult conversation you’ve been avoiding. That relationship, that boundary, that truth, it won’t get easier with time. It just gets heavier.
Investing in yourself before you feel like you can afford it. Sometimes the course, the coach, or the conference is exactly what creates the financial breakthrough you’re waiting for.
Why We Resist Taking Action
Let’s be honest about what’s really stopping us. It’s not lack of time. It’s not lack of resources. It’s not even lack of knowledge.
It’s fear.
Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of success and what it might demand of us. Fear of finding out we’re not as capable as we hoped. Fear of discovering we’re more capable than we believed and having to live up to that.
But here’s what I’ve learned: You can wait until the fear goes away, or you can do it afraid. One of these options moves your life forward. The other keeps you exactly where you are.
The Cost of Waiting
Every day you wait is a day you don’t get back.
Every opportunity you let pass while you “prepare more” might not come around again.
Every version of yourself you’re waiting to become is just the current you plus action you haven’t taken yet.
The cost of waiting isn’t just about missed opportunities. It’s about the compound effect of inaction. It’s about the confidence you don’t build. The skills you don’t develop. The network you don’t create. The momentum you never generate.
What’s Actually FOR YOU
So what does it mean that “what’s for you is FOR YOU”?
It means you have potential that’s already yours. Dreams that already belong to you. Capabilities that are already within you.
But potential doesn’t automatically become reality. Dreams don’t manifest through hope alone. Capabilities don’t develop without use.
What’s for you is FOR YOU, but it’s wrapped in action. It’s hidden inside the scary decision. It’s waiting on the other side of the risk. It’s buried in the work you’ve been avoiding.
Your New Month Action Plan
This month, I challenge you to do one thing that scares you every single week.
Week 1: Make contact. Reach out to someone you’ve been meaning to connect with. Send the pitch. Start the conversation.
Week 2: Make a move. Take one concrete action toward your biggest goal. Not planning. Not researching. Doing.
Week 3: Make it public. Share your work, your voice, your perspective. Stop hiding your light.
Week 4: Make the investment. Spend money, time, or energy on something that will grow you, even if it feels like a stretch.
The Permission Slip You’ve Been Waiting For
If you’ve been waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay to go for it, this is it.
You don’t need more credentials. You don’t need more time. You don’t need more preparation. You need more action.
What’s for you is FOR YOU. But you have to claim it. You have to chase it. You have to build it. You have to create it.
So what are you waiting for?
New month. New energy. New action.
Go get what’s yours.
