Someday
“Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’, just do it and correct course along the way.” ~Tim Ferriss
We all have dreams, but out of fear of failure or insecurities or many of life’s distractions, we delay our dreams until that magical “someday.” We wait until the conditions are perfect before we can start. But then we never do, because the conditions are never perfect for us to begin.
It’s a cyclic mental struggle: to want something, then putting it off until some external conditions have been met, the conditions never line up or we come up with more excuses, we never get started, and we don’t get what we wanted.
This is the problem that many of us face—to want something different than what’s in front of us, but we’re not willing to take action towards its attainment. Someday is today, right now. If we can’t commit to and take action towards our dreams, we’ll never get there.
It’s easier than we think, if we just take that first baby step today.
What are some dreams and desires that will make you happy? Whether you want to organize the clutter in your home, or learn a new language, or start a business, or even the simple but important goal to live happily.
Make a decision that you will take one small action today towards this goal. It can be as trivial as putting some items from a messy surface away to help with de-cluttering your home, or signing up for a language class for your new language goal, or write out a vision for your business, or read something inspirational towards your happiness.
Make today that someday. Practice doing this everyday and watch as you get closer to your goals, until one day when you realize that you are living your dream.
