Sharing some of my own fears and struggle
if you dont have time to listen to this eposide the friendly autobot gave us this summary of whats within.
the idea of center points in our lives, visualizing these as circles we create around us, which are indicative of our balance and direction. In any situation, it's important to take responsibility for your center point; if you lose sight of it, you lose balance. Owning your center point means owning your decisions and actions, as well as the resulting effects and emotions.
always, we have multiple center points, representing the different roles and directions we project in life. By firmly embracing your core (visualized here as your left foot), you open up opportunities to help others, expanding your circles and deepening your impact. The right foot, on the other hand, symbolizes empathy for others, specifically the people we aim to assist or serve.
Feedback from others can help refine your center points. However, it's crucial to ensure the feedback is relevant to your context and doesn't disrupt your balance. Furthermore, recognizing the direction and curvature of your path can lead to better navigation of life's complexities.
Ultimately, this understanding and acceptance of your center points, combined with empathy, responsibility, and a willingness to play and adapt, allows for effective navigation through life's challenges. Embrace the intricate dance of life, remaining aware of your center points and your impacts on others. This approach helps build stronger relationships and fosters success, whether in personal or professional spheres.

You're Not Ready, you're Intentionally Small & Meaningfully Bold.
Auto-summary for those who don't have time to listen.
The importance of starting before feeling fully ready, arguing that waiting for readiness hinders learning and helping others.
It highlights the struggle with uncertainty and the human tendency to seek certainty, which can lead to inaction and missed opportunities for growth and assistance.
Suggests focusing on small, meaningful actions that can make a difference now,
rather than waiting for the perfect conditions. I know it leaves less space to hide than a superb plan in your head. Remind yourself it's worth it when it feels too pressing to close.
By daring to take small steps, individuals can learn, help others, and eventually find a path that accelerates their ability to serve effectively. The overarching message is to embrace imperfection and uncertainty as opportunities for growth rather than barriers to action.

Embrace doing it early. Put it into the hands of someone who cares about it EARLY; don't wait until you're fully done or have figured it out. Do the hard part early and then EARLY put it into the hands of those who care so they help you pull it forward, feedback early before you waste time and others effort and attention on things you will cut once you understand the constraints better.
