Ready or education is very important. It probably in my option one of the most important resources we have to develop a more aware consciousness and growth mindset that we can do. As with any good thing to much of this is not good or another way to say it to much of just reading and no action is as good as not ready anything. Action is a scary thing for most because we get so comfortable in our routines that to make change with challenge our patterns of who we are and what we represent to the world. This could mean a challenge from someone you respect with in the beginning is very distracting to your progress because you become more judgmental about your actions. Action of knowledge is imperative for what you are seeking on your journey and it can be done in a way or with an attitude that will keep you safe until you are ready to make the world aware of  the true you.
