Hi Reader,

Someday Sounds So Responsible

I didn't think I was avoiding a dream.

I thought I was being practical.

When I first said out loud that I wanted to become a speaker and a coach, my brain immediately started building a very convincing case.

Kids in college...maybe after they graduate.

A full-time job...maybe when life slows down.

A busy life...maybe someday.

And the tricky thing was...

All of those reasons were true.

That's what makes someday so hard to recognize.

Sometimes we're not choosing between a good decision and a bad decision. Sometimes we're choosing between staying where we are (because it's comfortable) and taking a step toward something that matters (knowing it will be uncomfortable). What do you think wins most of the time?

The Problem With Waiting for the Perfect Time

I wonder how many dreams, goals, and changes are sitting in someday. Not because we don't care about them. Not because they don't matter.

But because we're waiting for a magical season where everything feels easier.

The schedule clears.

The uncertainty disappears.

The perfect plan arrives.

(If you find that season, let me know. 😉)

Five years later, I'm really grateful Jason challenged my someday.

Not because the timing suddenly became perfect.

It didn't.

But because I stopped asking, "Why won't this work?"

And started asking, "What would make this possible?"

A Question for You

Where are you waiting for life to slow down?

Is there something you've been telling yourself you'll do...

after the busy season?

after things calm down?

after you feel more ready?

Take a few minutes this week and ask:

What do I want the next five years to look like?

And maybe even more importantly:

Is the way I'm spending my days moving me toward that?

You don't have to change everything.

You don't need the whole plan.

Sometimes momentum begins by admitting there is something you actually want.

Celebrating with you,

Terrie

P.S. Yesterday I shared Celebration Bonus #2 because this is exactly why I created Future Focus. If this email made you realize you've been living in "someday," there's still time to join us.

During the six-week Future Focus Cohort, we'll slow down and look at what you want the next 5–10 years to look like, walk through the different areas of your life, and make sure your daily goals, rhythms, and routines are connected to what matters most.

As part of the five-year celebration, the cohort is 50% off ($122 instead of $244) when you use the code COHORT50. We start Tuesday, July 14 at 7 PM Central.
