[Important] Why "someday" is the most dangerous word

"I'll do it someday."

"I'll start when I have time."

I think everyone,

has said those words at least once.

Of course,

there are circumstances where you can't do it right away.

There is no need to rush.

However,

the word "someday" has,

one scary aspect.

It has no deadline.

Promises without deadlines,

almost never come true.

"Let's go on a trip someday."

"Let's go visit my parents someday."

"I'll start studying someday."

While you are thinking that,

one year,

two years, time just passes by.

Life is,

It happens faster than you think.

As you go about your daily life,

there is no big difference between yesterday and today.

However,

when you look back a year later,

the scenery has changed significantly.

You also get older.

Your physical strength changes too.

There is no guarantee that the people you want to see

will be healthy forever.

I, too,

have had regrets from putting things off.

"I wish I had done it back then."

Such feelings

grow stronger as time passes.

On the other hand,

"I tried and failed"

is a regret that

often fades with time.

But,

The regret of "not doing it"

stays in your heart forever.

That is why,

it doesn't have to be a big step.

Read one page of a book.

Make one phone call.

Contact someone you want to see.

Do what you can today,

today.

That accumulation

will change the future.

Life

is not changed by "someday".

It is changed by the accumulation of "today".

"Sooner or later" is

the most convenient phrase,

and also the most dangerous one.

That is why I,

especially when I am hesitant,

want to choose the "small step I can take now".

Today is a day that

will never return.

That is precisely why,

instead of "someday,"

"let's try it today."

I believe that feeling

becomes the greatest gift to your future self.
