Feel the Heat

“Don’t you call this a regular jam,

I’m gonna rock this land.

I’m gonna take this itty bitty world by storm,

And I’m just getting warm!”

You may not feel the heat just yet, but I promise you it’s there.

Deep inside, I know you’ve been brewing, stewing, and strategizing.

You’ve been planning the moves, plotting the course, and getting your mind ready for action.

You may not feel ready to make the leap, but you’re damn sure putting in the prep work to get ready.

But guess what? Nobody’s ever really ready.

You just bust a move. You just jump in the action. You just take that first step.

Regardless of where you are today, you’re likely closer, better, and more ready than you were yesterday.

You just need to believe it — you need to feel it in your bones.

Like an oven that’s recently been ignited, you won’t necessarily feel the heat immediately. It takes time for the external temp check to register the internal reality of what’s already in motion.

But you need to know that you’re already lit.

You must believe that you already have everything you need to make it happen, whatever “it” is for you.

I promise you, once you take that step and get going, you’ll be amazed by how the universe and world around you will affirm your journey and conspire in its progress.

You just need to hurry up and get in that ring!
