Are you tired of living a life of wishes. It's time to move off the Isle of Someday and move to the Isle of Today. The size of the isle is sometimes quite large and other times rather small. It all depends on how often you say or think the phrase “someday I’ll”. We all do it. Some of us do it more than others. Whenever you find yourself saying or thinking someday I’ll do this or someday I’ll do that you know you are living on the Isle of Someday. I bet some of your family and friends also live on that isle! The Isle of Someday is filled with wishes and day dreams. Do these statements sound familiar? Someday I’ll go back to school Someday I’ll take a vacation Someday I’ll start a savings account Someday I’ll exercise Someday I’ll take my kids to the beach Someday I’ll enroll in a painting class Someday I’ll climb a mountain Someday I’ll volunteer my time Someday I’ll start my own business Someday I’ll lose weight Someday I’ll learn how to play golf Someday I’ll sleep under the stars Someday I’ll be happy Someday I’ll make amends You get the idea of what life is like on the Isle of Someday. It is future oriented filled with wishes. You will find lots of words and few actions. It’s a safe hiding place with nothing ventured, nothing gained. Failure isn’t even a blip on the screen. The question you need to ask yourself is how gratifying and fulfilling is life on that Isle? Are you ready to step off onto new ground? I invite you to create your own “Someday I’ll” list. List as many things as you can think that fall into that category. Now select 2 items from the list that you are willing to do in the next thirty days. Think of how you will feel when you actually turn your words into actions. Life is to short to spend it waiting to live! The clock just keeps ticking away. Take the wishes off your Isle of Someday and turn them into actions for your Isle of Today and enjoy the journey. What are you waiting for? Ask yourself, if not now, when?
