the biggest lie i ever told myself was that i needed to feel a certain way [ready, fearless, confident] in order to do the things i wanted to

Just go for it.
If you are creating an arbitrary precursor condition to reach up and touch the sky, you will work on that pre-condition, not your dream.
You may surmount that pre-condition to your dream, but if you do, you will keep creating one arbitrary precursor condition after another until you die.
And you will never touch the sky.
There are no pre-conditions to satisfy before you are authorized to reach up and touch the sky.
Don’t make up shit.
Just reach up and touch the sky.
Meanwhile, I’m happy because I decided that it’s OK to be happy.
