"SOMEDAY....."

Recently I have been using this word so often; like 'Someday I will be in that position doing tht thing', 'at somepoint that person will realize my importence how much helpful i was', 'Someday I will have a house in this area'.... and so on and so forth... hundreds of things, I've been using this word so often that I have started thinking when will this someday/at some point actually be a day in the present, why can't that someday/some point be today!

These thoughts of someday, although has helped me to learn about what I really wish deep down inside and my aspirations, probably it has led to me to find a way, work towards actually accomplishing them.

The word “Someday” is too ambiguous. It’s just not REAL, not a goal, a deadline, or an estimation — it’s an unspecified time in the future so indefinite that it’s borderline fantasy. As a result, it tends to promote inaction rather than action. Telling yourself that you want to do something someday doesn’t accomplish much — yet it’s human nature to think this way. People commonly proclaim “I want to get married someday,” or “I want to be rich someday.”

They have good reason for being so unspecific: It’s comforting to make goals that lack a due date. There’s no pressure to get it done immediately because there’s always tomorrow. In other words:There’s always the rest of your life for your perfect “Someday” to arrive, but unfortunately, it never comes because, we have to do ours actions for it to happen.

The truth is, you won’t experience that “Someday” you’re looking forward to unless you take action today. When you convince yourself that you have the rest of your life to do something, you’ll experience day after day of inaction until you’ve lost your chance to actually do it.

I learned this, learned it the hard way. That’s why you can’t make plans for someday. One of my favorite authors writes how “folks who have one foot in the future and the other in the past and spend their time pissin all over today because of it.” (Stephen King, from Four Past Midnight) — I agree wholeheartedly.

If you find yourself saying “I wish I had (done something differently),” the thing to do is let it go. Don’t live in your past.If you find yourself saying “I want to (do something) someday,” the thing to do is change your outlook, act to make it happen for the future.

"The past is gone... you cant change it, future is not yet here.... you dont know anything about it... what you have is your present, you can control it and work with it, on it; so that when the present becomes the becomes the past, you would not feel "I wish I had..." while you are in your future"

Random Quotes

Three quotes that I came across, randomly, during the day and it got me into DEEP THINKING!!! I haven't done that in a while... Looking deep inside!

'There comes a point in your life that you have to realize and accept that you'll never be good enough for some people even if you give up yourself to live life for them, just their way they would want you to, So you need to let go of it!'

'The reason why some people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, present worse than it is and future less resolved than it will be.'
