Make Today Your Someday


So I was reading a new book this morning and I absolutely loved this section.



"The Timing is Never Right.

I once asked my mom how she decided when to have her first child, little ol' me. The answer was simple: "It was something we wanted, and we decided there was no point in putting it off. The timing is never right to have a baby." And so it is.

For all the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? the stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up all the pins wither. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way."

-THE FOUR HOUR WORK WEEK BY Timothy Ferriss



I know this is the old cliche Carpe Diem but in reality I think that too many of us get caught up in the Diem stuff and forget to Carpe anything. Make things happen today, start working out today don't wait for a traumatic event or wait until you think you need it because usually by the time that thought comes around you REALLY DO! We make time in the day for the things that are most important to us and what is more important than your health? Without it you can't take care of loved ones, you can't enjoy life to the fullest, can't enjoy the years you have left, can't spend the money you worked so hard to make, and can't work to make more!!


OK, I'm off the soap box. Make today your Someday, Go Big or Go Home, whatever catchy saying works for you just realize that conditions will never be perfect to do/be/have what you want so do it NOW.
