Word-Of-the-Week #1064: Someday
January 9, 2025 by Susan Clarke
Someday – at some unspecified time in the future.
Is there something you’ve wanted to do that you’ve been postponing? How would it feel to take action on what truly matters?
This week’s WOW from Sam Horn felt like a great start to the New Year!
ANECDOTE
Years ago, a woman came up to me at a conference and asked, “How did you come up with the title of your book ‘Someday is Not a Day in the Week?’”
I told her, “I’ve met so many people over the past few years who talked about what they were going to do… Someday.
Whether it was spend more time with family, take better care of themselves, or pursue a passion project… They told me they planned to do it when they’re not so busy, when their kids go off to college, when they retire, when they have more money, when things aren’t so crazy at work… Fill in the blank.
The problem? Someday often becomes never and the future isn’t guaranteed.
The longer we wait, the harder it becomes to take action on what truly matters.
Let’s stop waiting and start initiating! After all, you will never regret doing more of what puts the light on in your eyes, you will only regret not doing it sooner.
ACTION
- How about you? What is something you want to do that you’ve been postponing for “someday?”
- What is something – even something very small – that could fill your life with joy, purpose and meaning?
- You don’t have to quit your job or abandon your responsibilities, just pick one thing each week that gets you closer to a happier and healthier life.
This week’s focus is on someday. Are there any things that you’ve said you were going to do “someday?” How would it feel to make today the day you start initiating and stop waiting?
