Are you ready to seize the opportunity at any time? ➖ Assuming it will come true

Introduction | "Assuming it will come true" is not about positive thinking

Assuming it will come true.
When you hear that, some people might find it a bit suspicious.

Like, "If you believe it, it will come true!"
Like it's a privilege only for positive people.

But that's not what I'm talking about today.

In fact, I'm the type who worries in my head the whole time when I don't know if something will come true.
・Am I suited for this?

・What if I fail?
・Is it too early to act now?
・Should I wait until I'm more prepared?
...While I'm thinking about these things,

time just passes without anything happening.
And then I realize.

Success doesn't appear with a "face of success" from the start.

Rather, what comes first is usually something like this:

・Subtle

・Anxiety
・Is this right?
・Something feels suspicious (but I'm curious).
In other words, the world is basically a "mixture of gems and stones."

Here, I decided one thing.



Don't try to grab only the real things (gems).Grab first. Touch. Verify.
In doing so, you will learn the feel of a gem.
If you keep your hand pulled back because you're afraid of grabbing a stone,

the moment to grab a gem will never come.
Assuming it will come true is not about deceiving yourself,

but rather

giving yourself permission to be the one who goes out to grab it I think. In this article,

I'm not talking about "how to spot" opportunities,
but about putting yourself in a state where you can "nurture" opportunities.
It's not: grab when you're ready.

It's: as you grab, you become ready.

Chapter 1 | Success never appears with a "face of success"

Looking back,
the things that "went well" in my life
rarely had a "success-like face" from the beginning.

The same goes for note.

Whenever I felt anxious,
whenever I felt like stopping because I thought, "Is this okay?" or "Is this off-track?",
looking back later, it was almost always a turning point.
Work is the same.

It's almost never the case that someone kindly tells you,

"Yes, you are now promoted,"
"Let's move to the next stage."

What comes instead is:
・A slightly difficult task

・A role that is a stretch for who I am now

・Expectations that honestly make me anxious
Beyond overcoming those,
the scenery changes little by little.

The same goes for encounters with people and learning.
Sometimes people you meet by chance

become lifelong connections,

and sometimes a lecture you happened to hear
or a text you read casually

changes your perspective on life.
On the other hand,
sometimes people or things you went to see with a glimmer of hope,

thinking, "This must be the right answer"

or "This time it's definitely it,"
turn out to be just "fakes" when you think about it later.

This isn't a special story.
If you've lived for a few decades,
everyone should have some experience with this.

That's why I started to think this way.

You don't have to try to grab only
"the right answer,"

"success,"

or "the real thing"
from the start.
The world is basically a mixture of gems and stones.
And,



the ability to distinguish between gems and stones

only grows in those who grab them.
If you keep your hand pulled back because you're afraid of grabbing a stone,
you will never know the feeling of touching a gem. Assuming it will come true is not about rushing in without thinking,

nor is it about being optimistic.
It's just taking one step
toward where your intuition

is even slightly excited.

That's all it is.
What looked like a detour

might be foreshadowing when you look back later,
or an experience you thought was a waste of time
might take you to a world

you never imagined.

In the next chapter,
I will talk about why, in this "mixture of gems and stones world,"


those who "grab first"
end up seizing opportunities


and how "assuming it will come true"

is a practical action switch,
in a more structural way. (It should become much easier to move from here.)

Chapter 2 | In a world of gems and stones, "grab" first. Then, let go

When I talk about "assuming it will come true,"
this misunderstanding often arises:

・Does it mean jump at everything?
・Does it mean develop a mentality that doesn't care if you fail?
・Does it mean the person who keeps sticking with it without quitting wins?

All of these are a bit different.

Rather, what's important is
the set of the power to grab and the power to let go I think.

In a world of gems and stones, "discernment" grows later

Reality doesn't tell you from the start:

"This is a gem."
"This is a stone."

In many cases,
the look and the feel are almost the same.

Therefore,

・Those who want to grab only the real thing can't move
・Those who don't want to fail can't grab anything

is the state they end up in.

But in reality,

those who have experience grabbing stones
understand the feel of a gem faster.

This isn't about grit,
it's just about experience points.

・I touched it and felt something was off
・I tried it but it didn't grow
・It was different from what I thought

Each of those
properly nurtures the feeling of "this is different."

"The power not to cling" is a proper strategy

There is one more important thing.
That is the "power to let go" and "not to cling."

The power to pull your hand away quickly when you realize it's a stone.

Assuming it will come true is not
about continuing no matter what.

Rather,

・Being able to notice discomfort
・Being able to judge "this is not the time"
・Being able to permit yourself to cut your losses

This is also a valuable skill.

If you keep holding onto a stone,
thinking "I've come this far"
or "It might pay off in a little while,"
・You waste time and energy

・Your field of vision narrows
・Your hand becomes unavailable to grab the next gem
Therefore,



grab -> verify -> let go if it's wrong the more naturally you can do this flow,

the higher the probability of "encountering a gem" becomes.

"Assuming it will come true" means moving softly

The "assumption" I'm talking about here
is not a heavy resolve.

・It's not "I'll go with this for life"
・It's not "I'll definitely make it a success"

It can be much lighter.

"It's okay to try this."
"It's okay to touch this."
"If it doesn't fit, it's okay to quit."

Just by having this assumption,

・Your speed of movement increases
・Your judgment becomes faster
・Useless self-denial decreases

It's not that failure is scary,
but for those who are scared of dwelling on failure
,

this way of thinking will be a help.

Those who can let go are stronger than those who don't grab

Those who don't grab anything
don't get hurt, but they don't move forward either.

But,

those who grab,
realize "Oh, that was wrong,"
and can properly let go,

・Become able to trust their own senses
・Improve the accuracy of their judgment
・Increase the speed of moving to the next step

This is not a talent.
It's a power you acquire through practice.

In the next chapter,
I will flip the story so far.

"So in the end,
what kind of person
is more likely to seize an opportunity?"

It's not ability,
or the amount of preparation.

It's how you place your assumptions. In Chapter 3,

I will break down further
how "assuming it will come true"
becomes an action switch,

and the idea of giving yourself permission.
(This is where it gets much easier.)

Chapter 3 | "Assuming it will come true" means giving yourself "permission"

Having read this far,
you might be thinking this.

"Assuming it will come true, isn't that
just another way of saying positive thinking?"

But, it's probably different.

The "assuming it will come true" I am talking about
is not about forcing yourself to be positive.

It is about changing your stance on taking action.

(I have written in detail about how to change your perspective here.)

People change the "seat they sit in" depending on their assumptions

When living under the assumption that
"I don't know if it will come true," people act like this.

・Looking for choices that won't fail
・Waiting to see how things go
・Procrastinating by saying, "I'll do it after a little more preparation"
・Giving the power of decision to others

This state is not bad.
It is cautious and wise.

But if you keep this assumption,
you will always be on the waiting side.

On the other hand,

people who act under the "assumption it will come true"
are sitting in a slightly different seat.

・It's okay to try this
・Let's try it and then decide
・If it doesn't fit, I can just stop
・Standing on the side of the one who chooses

What is happening here
is not a difference in ability.

It is just a difference in assumptions.

"Permission to try" rather than "permission not to fail"

This is very important, so I will write it clearly.

"Assuming it will come true"
is not about believing in a self that won't fail.

It is actually the opposite.

・It's okay to fail
・It's okay to take a detour
・It's okay to change direction along the way

Giving yourself
that permission.

Many people
unconsciously think like this:

"It's okay to do it if I succeed"
"It's okay to choose it if it's the right answer"
"It's okay to act if I have the confidence not to make a mistake"

But in reality,
the day those conditions are met almost never comes.

That is why you cannot act.

Changing your assumption means

not "doing it because I will succeed," but
standing in a position of "giving myself permission to do it."

When you sit in the "seat of the doer," the world's reaction changes

It is strange, but there is one thing that is certain.

People who start acting under the "assumption it will come true"
get a different response from the world.

・Work comes to them
・People connect them
・Information gathers
・The next options become visible

This is not attraction or magic.

It is just that

there is information that can only be seen by those who are moving
that is all.

(For more details, see this article.)

Conversely,
as long as you don't move, the world remains silent.

Whether it comes true or not can wait

Having come this far,
I can finally write my true feelings.

Whether it comes true or not,
honestly, it doesn't matter at first.

What is important is

・Did you touch it?
・Did you try it?
・Did you feel the difference?
・Did you update your own sense of things even once?

That is all.

Opportunities
do not appear as finished products.

Because you understand their shape
while you are touching them.

How to switch your assumptions starting today

If you ever
get stuck again,
I want you to just remember these questions.

If everything is a "yes" or "that's fine," then
that is enough.

The premise
doesn't have to be a grand resolution.

It can be small, light, and casual.

Conclusion | It's not about seizing it once you're ready

Many people think like this:

"Once I'm ready, I'll seize it."

But in reality, it's the opposite.

You get ready while you are seizing it.

Opportunities are not things you wait for.
They are things you touch, verify, and nurture.

So first,
give yourself permission.

"It's okay to do this."
"It's okay to try this."

Just by doing that,
the distance between you and the world will properly shrink.

(Whether it comes true or not can be decided later.)

🌿Magazine Announcement

From past articles to the latest ones,
I created a magazine as a "shelf you can return to"
so you can read them later without getting lost.
I plan to gradually add deeper topics (the behind-the-scenes of stories, integration of duality, etc.)
as a "place you can return to on days you want to reset."
If you'd like, feel free to take a peek.
