Don’t Let Your Dreams Rot in the Water

This morning, I walked into my kitchen, looked out the window, and saw a jar that stopped me cold.

A few weeks ago, I cut the end off a head of romaine lettuce and stuck it in water. I was so excited when bright green shoots began to sprout and roots began to grow. It was working!

I kept telling myself, “I’ll plant it tomorrow. I just need to get through this one thing first.”
And tomorrow kept getting pushed.

This morning, I looked again.

The roots were mush. The leaves, once bright and hopeful, had collapsed. That little burst of growth—the one I had been so proud of—was gone. Because I waited too long.

And it hit me:

How many times have I done this to myself?

You get an idea.
You take a few brave steps.
You start growing.
And then…
You wait.
You hesitate.
You tell yourself you’re not ready. That you’ll start after you clean up this mess or finish that task.

But here’s the truth:

Potential doesn’t wait forever.
Growth needs to be planted.
It needs roots. Structure. Nourishment. Support.

It needs us to stop circling and commit.

Otherwise, we turn to mush. Not because we’re not good enough—but because we didn’t act soon enough.

That romaine reminded me: don’t leave your dreams floating in water.

If there’s a version of you that’s growing—if you’ve felt it stirring, even just a little—it’s time to plant yourself. It’s time to grow.

And if money is one of the places where you feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from your power…

That’s where I can help.

3 Quotes to Ponder:

2 Thought Experiments:

1. The Floating Seed
   Picture a seed floating in water—roots forming, potential showing, but never touching soil. What dream or idea are you keeping “safe” but unplanted?
   What would change if you gave it a place to take root?

2. The Perfect Conditions Myth
   What’s one thing you’ve delayed “until the time is right”?
   Now imagine: nothing changes. The time never becomes perfect.
   Would you still keep waiting?

1 Action Step (Journal Prompt):

Where am I growing… but not committing? What is one way I can “plant myself” today and give that growth somewhere real to go?

Remember, I'm here to support you on this journey!
