Opportunity rarely gives you a heads-up. It can show up as a quick conversation that turns into a real connection, a random DM that becomes a collaboration, or a job opportunity that lands on a regular Tuesday. The common thread? You don’t rise to the moment, you fall to your preparation.
For me, “being ready” isn’t about perfection. It’s the small stuff: showing up on time, keeping promises, staying sharp, and treating people like they matter. It’s having energy in the room, confidence in your decisions, and a mindset that says, “Yeah, I can handle this.”
For me, that readiness relies on a specific ritual. I don't feel fully set until I apply my fragrance. There is something about wearing my favourite scent of the moment that makes me feel bigger than life. When I love what I'm wearing, I feel prepared for anything the universe throws my way.
