Someday trap

Someday is not good enough. Today is the day that matters, the only day when you can do what you must do.

As ideal as some future situation might seem, there’s a big problem. It’s not currently available to you.

What actually is available, is right now. If you’re serious about making progress, this is the time to work on it.

Whatever you put off for someday, doesn’t get done. Dreaming and planning are good at identifying what you seek to do, yet they don’t make it happen.

That’s your job. And today is your time.

Before the sun goes down, you have the opportunity to demonstrate your commitment and to make it count for something. Pull your intentions out of the someday trap and begin to act on them today.

— Ralph Marston
