Why We All Wait for Someday
“I’ll do it when…”
We’ve all whispered this promise to ourselves. When life slows down. When the kids are older. When I feel more confident. When I finally have it all together.
The “someday” mindset feels logical — but it’s actually fear in disguise. It’s the inner voice that’s terrified of starting imperfectly, so it convinces you that later will somehow be easier. But here’s the truth: later is a moving target.
Waiting for the “right time” is often a way to avoid the discomfort of being seen trying. What if you didn’t need the stars to align? What if you could start small — right in the middle of the chaos?
The Myth of Readiness
We assume readiness is a feeling — a magical sense of clarity and confidence. In reality, readiness is built through action. Confidence comes from doing, not waiting. The first step will always feel uncomfortable — not because you’re unprepared, but because you’re human.
Common “Someday” Delays
- “I’ll start my business when I’m more qualified.”
- “I’ll make time for myself when the house is less chaotic.”
- “I’ll set boundaries when I’m stronger.”
- “I’ll follow my creative spark when I know where it’s going.”
Spoiler: There’s no perfect time. There’s only now — and it’s enough.
How to Break Free From the Someday Trap
- Micro-Move Today: Do the smallest possible version of what you’re dreaming about. Write the first paragraph. Sign up for the class. Block off 30 minutes for yourself — no excuses.
- Reframe Failure: What if not trying at all was the only real failure? What if every messy step counts as proof you’re alive and evolving?
- Trust the Messy Middle: You won’t have all the answers on day one — you’re not supposed to. Start anyway.
- Celebrate Partial Progress: Progress isn’t all-or-nothing. Every micro-move deserves recognition.
Final Reminder
Your life is happening right now — not someday. You’re allowed to begin imperfectly. Your future self will thank you for showing up, even if it’s messy.
