People Need What You’ve Been Running From: Start The Project That You Can’t Shake.
You can’t run forever.
We all have that project.
The one you think about in the quiet moments.
The one that shows up in your notes app, your sketchbook, or your daydreams.
The one that keeps resurfacing no matter how many times you try to set it aside.
Some of you have even tried to forget it—telling yourself it’s unrealistic, unimportant, or already done by someone else. But here’s the thing: you can’t let it go… because it’s yours for a reason.
Don’t let doubts hold you back.
That Idea Isn’t Random—It Matters
You might be asking:
“Who needs this, really?”
“What if it’s not good enough?”
“What if I’m not ready?”
But here’s the truth: someone out there is looking for exactly what you’ve been thinking of creating. They just haven’t found it yet—because you haven’t made it. That idea might seem small or unclear to you now, but it could be meaningful to someone else in a way you can’t yet imagine.
You don’t need to understand the full impact right away. You just need to trust that it’s worth starting.
Fear is a liar.
Don’t Let Fear Choose Your Future
Fear is loud, but it’s not wise.
And when you let fear stop you from doing what you know in your heart is right, you set yourself up for the worst kind of regret—the kind that lingers in the quiet moments and whispers, “What if you had tried?”
Be strong and courageous.
Do the hard thing that you know is right.
The cost of starting might be discomfort. But the cost of not starting? That’s a lifetime of regret.
3 Practical Steps to Move Your Idea Forward
1. Give Yourself Permission to Begin
Let go of the pressure to make it perfect. Say this out loud or write it down:
→ “I give myself permission to create this idea, even if it’s still a work in progress.”
2. Identify the First Step (Not the Final One)
Don’t worry about the full plan yet. Focus on one simple, doable action.
→ Sketch a rough draft. Write a single paragraph. Talk to someone you trust. Set a timer for 30 minutes.
3. Create a Space for Progress
Treat your idea with respect by making room for it in your schedule and surroundings.
→ Block off time on your calendar, start a folder on your desktop, or write the idea on a sticky note and place it where you’ll see it daily.
Run towards your calling, not away from it.
