Get out your calendar or day planner and take a look at the days of the week.

If you have a calendar like mind, you will see Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. What you will not see is Someday.

So here is the point - There is no someday!

Our belief in "someday I will...." is a myth that holds us back in life. We fool ourselves this way. It's one way we rationalize. Read the word rationalize as "rational - lies."

How to make "someday" a series of todays

Here’s a quick little reminder that there is no someday - get a sheet of paper and write down the year 2005. Next to that write your age, then next to that the age of your spouse, then the age of each of your children.

Now do the same for 2006, 2007 etc.., all the way to 2015.

For me this year would be 2005-47-41-11-3 and ten years from now 2015-57-51-21-13.

This little checkup can give you a sense of urgency about how quickly time passes and how you use your time.

How many summers does that leave you with the kids at home? How many holidays do you have left? How many.........well, you get the idea.

Turn those somedays into a series of todays.
