  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, realizing everyone is always learning and

  This is where we live out loud, on purpose, and with purpose.

  I'm Coach C, your host, and this is Season 1, Episode 11, Go Through the Cracked
• 0:23
  Door. Let me ask you something.
• 0:27
  How many times have you been this close? The opportunity was there.
• 0:32
  The door wasn't locked. It just wasn't wide open.
• 0:37
  And instead of stepping through, you hesitated.
• 0:41
  So the situation looks like this. You showed up because you were supposed to.
• 0:46
  The interview, the appointment, the meeting, the opportunity.
• 0:52
  You got dressed. You pulled up. You walked in, but something whispered, maybe this ain't for me.
• 1:01
  Fear didn't stop you from arriving, but it tried to stop you from entering fully.
• 1:07
  See, we've been conditioned to believe that opportunity looks like open doors,
• 1:13
  clear paths, green lights, instant confidence.
• 1:17
  But real life, real life looks like a cracked door. Not fully open Not fully
• 1:25
  closed Just enough space to make a decision And here's the truth.
• 1:31
  A cracked door will test your belief in yourself because now you can't rely on certainty.
• 1:39
  You have to rely on courage.
• 1:42
  Some of y'all are waiting for the door to swing wide open for confirmation,
• 1:47
  for a sign, for everything to feel right.
• 1:52
  But what if the cracked door is the sign?
• 1:58
  What if the opportunity is saying, I made room for you, now come the rest of the way?
• 2:05
  Let me shift your perspective real quick.
• 2:08
  The door doesn't open wide until you move toward it.
• 2:13
  The opportunity doesn't expand until you step into it.
• 2:18
  The confidence doesn't come until you act in spite of fear. You don't need full
• 2:26
  clarity, full confidence, full readiness.
• 2:31
  You need willingness because hesitation will have you standing outside a door
• 2:37
  that was never locked in the first place.
• 2:41
  Let's be real. Some of us have missed opportunities not because we weren't qualified,
• 2:47
  but because we were too busy questioning ourselves.
• 2:53
  Meanwhile, somebody less prepared, less polished, less experienced,
• 3:00
  walked right through that same cracked door. So here's your reminder.
• 3:04
  You don't wait for doors to open. You push them open. Even if it's just a little.
• 3:11
  Even if your hand is shaking.
• 3:13
  Even if your voice cracks when you speak.
• 3:16
  Because every big room, every next level, every answered prayer starts with
• 3:26
  a small step through a door that didn't look like much at first.
• 3:32
  Here's your fearless homework. Let's activate this thing.
• 3:36
  Number one, identify your cracked door.
• 3:41
  What opportunity is sitting in front of you right now? Be honest, you already know.
• 3:47
  Number two, name the fear. What exactly is making you hesitate? Fear of rejection?
• 3:55
  Fear of not being enough? Fear of being seen?
• 3:59
  Call it out. Number three, take one step through it.
• 4:05
  Within 24 hours, submit the application,
• 4:09
  send the email, say yes to the meeting, show up fully next time.
• 4:16
  Not halfway, not shrinking, fully.
• 4:21
  Number four, reframe the outcome. Win or learn, that's it. There is no loss here.
• 4:28
  Remember, that door isn't closed. It's waiting on you. So stop standing there analyzing it.
• 4:36
  Stop overthinking it. Stop shrinking in front of it and go through the cracked door.
• 4:42
  Because what's on the other side might just be everything you've been praying for.
• 4:49
  This is Real Talk, where we're realizing everyone is always learning and living your full experience.
• 4:57
  This is Coach C. I'll see you in the next one.
