“I see it, I like it. I want it, I got it.”
Oh, those super relatable words of Ariana Grande…
I wouldn’t classify myself as a Someday Oneday girl - I am totally into creating goals and crushing them, finding my passion and pursing it and intentionally living my life. Let’s be real though, that’s not always how it goes. I do give myself an “A for effort” though and I think that’s what counts. When I see, like and want something, it’s important that I work hard to get it. Just to clarify though, I am not necessarily talking about materialist things as the song lyrics imply…although a Porsche would be nice…just saying.
I had some pretty hefty goals for 2019 and knew that I was going to have to work hard and put in a lot of work to achieve them - otherwise, they would all end up by the Someday Oneday wayside. For example, one of my goals this year was a HUGE career change. Here was my goal: Quit (my director level job, with a company that I have been with for almost a decade, making pretty decent money) to pursue my passion of Life Coaching (and building a community of awesome women) by June 2019. Not an easy goal, let me tell you. But, I did it.
Would you classify yourself as a Someday Oneday girl? Your lyrics are more along the lines of “I see it, I like it. I want it, (insert huge pause – like 10 beats huge)…Someday Oneday.” Girl, someday is not a day of the week and hence whatever it is that you see, like and want, stays at just that.
Do you know what you’re missing? A compelling vision. You may see, like and want things but what’s the motivation behind what you see, like and want? What’s the motivation behind the goals that you set for yourself or the passions that you want to pursue?
What’s in your way?
Maybe you are encountering a few blocks. “I could never have that/do that.” “I’m not good enough.” “I don’t have enough money.” “I am way to scared to make that happen.” “I’m too busy.” Sounds like a classic case of the Someday Onedays to me.
Don’t let yourself or anyone else get in the way of what you see, like and want. You can get it.
What if you could create a picture of your ultimate dreams, desires and goals along with what impels you to achieve them? You could stay connected with your passions, renew your enthusiasm, stay motivated and committed and find strength and courage to move through those blocks. Wouldn’t Today be better than Someday, Oneday?
Just a thought…
