Cause Someday Never Comes
I can count on both hands the number of people, who know that I have published five books, say that Someday they will write a book. I know that will never happen Cause Someday Never Comes. How many times have YOU said I'm going to do this or that Someday? YOU know that's not true Cause Someday Never Comes.
When the hell IS Someday? I say, Someday is a day a person chooses to make them feel better. Someday is a day that a person wants to do something special or interesting or something they always wanted to do. The reality is, they know deep down that Someday Will Never Come, but it sure feels good to say it.
I challenged myself to commit to retiring at 62. I challenged myself to commit to writing my first book. I challenged myself to commit to doing a stand-up lecture at UCLA. I didn't say to anyone that Someday I'll do those things. I said I will do those things on a specific date in time. I believe I accomplished those things because I didn't fantasize that I would do those things Someday - Cause Someday Never Comes.
It's nice to dream. It's nice to fantasize. It's great to know the thing(s) you really want to do and say it out loud to yourself and others. If saying those things helps get you through life then go for it. However, how many of us feel disappointed at ourselves:
Cause Someday Never Comes.
