Someday Never Comes

There are seven days in a week and Someday isn’t one of them. – Unknown

Whatever you want to do.

Whatever you want to create.

Whatever you want to become.

Whatever relationship you want to start or repair.

Begin now.

Take some action now.

The first step though, often isn’t the first step (at least not the one you’ve been thinking it is . . . ).

The real first step is figuring out what the actual first step is.

That one thing that you can do now.

That one thing that isn’t too scary, or too overwhelming, or too daunting . . . .

It’s the one thing you can do now.

Do it, and you’ve started.

  • Why We Get Side-Tracked

    This Friday’s external resource is not a TED Talk, but instead from Harvard Business School’s Working Knowledge blog. In a very interesting post Francesca Gino talks about how and why we get side-tracked. Why, despite out best efforts, we don’t follow though as we plan, or sometimes, not at all.

  • Solve (Don’t Repress)

    The solution of the problem that you see in life is to live in a way that will make what is problematic disappear. – Ludvig Wittgenstein You can either solve problems, or you repress them. When you solve a problem you address, fully and completely, it’s cause. When you (merely) repress a problem, you will see it…
