Everybody has a ‘someday’.

“Someday, I’m going to take that vacation.”
“Someday, I’m going to give more to church.”
“Someday, I’ll be able to make it to Susie’s soccer game.”
“Someday, I’m going to leave this job for something better.”

and it goes on and on and on.

Sound familiar?

What is your ‘someday?’ My someday was that ‘someday’ I’m going to buy a house, ‘someday’ I’m going to take my oldest son back to Germany so he can see where he was born.

I am now a homeowner, although I have still to take my son back to Germany to see where he spent the first 18 months of his life, although I know it will happen because I will make it happen.

‘Someday’, though, is not a day of the week. It’s this obscure future point in time that is never pinned down. It’s not really real.

We all know, however, that in order to reach our goals and dreams, we have to put a date to the goal, or it will never happen. So, if ‘someday’ isn’t real, how can you expect to buy that house, go on that vacation, donate more to church, etc., etc. ….someday?

It will never happen. Unless! Unless you take someday and turn it into now.

So, who decided that we are supposed to wait until we’re 65 (someday) to enjoy life?

Living life is about enjoying and celebrating it now, not ‘someday’, because you know what?

If you keep on doing the same thing you’ve been doing for the last who knows how many years, ‘someday’ will never come.

You’ll wake up one morning and your kids will be asking you to babysit their kids and you’re going to say, “Wait a minute, where did the last 30 years go?

Do you have one too many ‘someday’s that you talk about? If so, ask yourself why. Why are you waiting until ‘someday’ instead of making it happen right now.
