Being Ready is a Myth - Plus 3 Things You Can Do Today to Begin

We’re taught to wait until the timing is perfect. Until the plan is flawless. Until we feel ready.

But here’s the truth—being ready is a myth.

You start. You fumble. You doubt yourself.

You keep going anyway.

Some days, it feels like you’re moving in circles.

Other days, you take a step that changes everything.

Through the false starts and quiet breakthroughs, you learn. You evolve. You get better.

That’s how Joyasol was born—not from a grand, polished debut, but from messy drafts, brave pivots, and the kind of faith that grows when you stop waiting and start becoming (more on our story here). 

Every design we create carries that same spirit. They’re not about perfection—they’re about movement. About showing up for the life you’re building, even when the path feels uncertain (more on our difference here). 

Because you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.

3 Things You Can Do Today to Begin

1 - Start small—but start.

Send the message, sketch the idea, take the first step toward the thing that’s been on your heart. Momentum is built, not found.

2 - Wear something that makes you feel ready, even if you don’t.
Sometimes confidence is as simple as slipping into a pair of shoes you love and letting them carry you forward. (Try our best-selling Paisley sneakers - they literally go with everything!)

2 - Give yourself permission to be imperfect. 

Progress isn’t linear. Mistakes aren’t failures—they’re lessons shaping your next move.

So take the leap. Wear the outfit. Book the trip. Send the email. Whatever your “someday” dream is—start living it now.

Here’s to beginning, and to every beautiful step that follows.
