Just Do It

Someday – It's a pretty useful word - someday. It gives people (you know who you are!) the chance to put everything off until another day. "It will happen," they tell themselves, "just not today."

Unfortunately, it hardly ever works this way (I speak from experience). People will tell themselves that a happier, more successful life will happen someday - but it never does. They'll continue to put off the things they want to do with as they grow older, until the day comes when they run out of time. All of their "some days" keep adding up until an entirely new life is planned to take place somewhere down the road; the happy, successful life they've always dreamed about. Until then, they drag through life looking forward to that magical 'someday.' And the reason so many people believe it will all work out in the future is because of another seductive trap. They may be afraid to go for it right now, but this 'someday' they talk about is completely free of fear and worry. In other words, they've convinced themselves that a time will come when they won't be afraid to go after their goals.

Have you done this? We all have, and that's why you must kill the myth with the truth...You will always, always, always feel out of your comfort zone when it comes to changing and improving your life, and that special time when everything falls into place will NEVER come! Successful people aren't lucky enough to be free of fear and worry, they move forward in spite of it.

I remember seeing a motivational sign that said, "The enemy of change is routine." We all have our routines (turning on the TV when we get home and zoning out the rest of the night) and it's hard to break those habits (try kicking a Pop Tart addiction).

Don't wait for the "perfect time" to start a new journey, be it an exercise program, a new career, whatever. Get started now! You'll undoubtedly make mistakes; it will definitely feel uncomfortable but the fulfillment you will feel afterwards is a million times better than the bitterness that comes with never realizing your goals.
