Timing

We may be more ready than prepared when opportunity arrives.

Ready is a feeling that “I can do it.”
Like, an attitude.
A belief you can figure it out.

Preparation is having all the resources you will need.
Like, a guarantee.
A belief you are unable to figure it out.

By the time we feel prepared, the opportunity likely passed.
Timing may be when we feel ready and say “yes,” even if unprepared.
