Have you fallen for the 'someday' trap?

Published: Sun, 04/10/22

Hey ,

Someday...

Twenty-five years ago, my 10-year-old daughter convinced me that Beanie Babies would be worth so much money someday, if we started collecting them now. Specifically, the Princess Diana beanie baby.

My thoughts were, will I be alive when that someday comes? Will she? Will that day ever come?

Well, here we are. I've kept this darn thing in its original plastic case, so that it would keep it's value for over 25 years and I'm tempted to give it to my dog, Lexi, to play with. It ain't worth diddly. But hey, maybe someday...

What is your someday? What are you waiting for before you take action on the vision that you have for your life?

Most people wait to feel a certain way. To feel ready, to feel able, to feel competent, and confident.

NEWSFLASH! Action comes before the feeling. Your feelings have a nasty little tendency to keep you from taking action. The fear, the worry, and the anxiety associated with wanting to make sure you get it all right BEFORE you take action.

Action begets competence. Competence begets confidence. Confidence begets more action and forward momentum towards your vision and goals. It all starts with ACTION, not FEELING.

Stop waiting to feel ready. You'll be waiting the rest of your life just like me and this stupid Princess Diana beanie baby. I'll be dead before it's worth anything and you'll be dead before you accomplish anything if you keep waiting for someday.
