Some Day
Have you ever said or heard someone say “that some day they are going to _______ (fill in the blank).”
I’m too young, but some day when I grow up, I am going to travel around the world.
I don’t have time to study abroad, but some day after I graduate from college, I am going to travel around the world.
I need to focus on my career, but some day after I have established myself, I am going to travel around the world.
I have bills to pay, a family and more kids coming, but some day after the kids have grown up, I am going to travel around the world.
The kids have grown up and moved away, but some day when the economy is better, I am going to travel around the world.
The years have passed like grains of sand in a desert storm. My health is poor now and I can no longer travel. My dream of traveling around the world is now just that, only a dream.
Does this sound familiar in anyway to you? How many times do we say we want to do something and we don’t take action? We say we want one thing but settle for another.
You are either moving towards your dream or you are moving away from it. The choice is up to you. What are you going to do?

On a quiet day, sit down in front of a piece of paper and make a list of all the things you’ve always wanted to do and all the places you’ve wanted to visit (your “bucket list”). Then make plans to do each of the things on the list and go to each of the places, one at a time. Each week, ask yourself what steps you have taken to work toward those goals. Cross off each item once you have accomplished it. Once you are done with one list, make a new one.
If you haven’t seen the movie “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, you should.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
