Waiting on "One Day"

Last week was all about change, including my good friend leaving to embark on a trip to chase her dreams.  The concept of goals and dreams has been on my mind lately - with the statement "one day" following each thing I daydream about.

One day.

Has anyone else used this statement extensively - so much so that you don't even believe yourself anymore when you say it?  Where is this one day?  Does it actually exist?

Today has been a reflective day, where did goal setting and action plans go?  I was that person that had the to do list for each day, week, month and year. I was always moving towards something.  Now I have spent time trying to focus on the now.  Throughout 2014 I was focused on myself and living in the moment. It was a great year with 2 great adventures.  Now, here in 2015 - I am realizing I don't know how to set the next goal and action plan and have reverted to the "one day" statement to answer every question thrown at me.

So - turning "One day" into "Today"

After reading an article about a woman I went to university with (a friend of a friend) who will be embarking on a solo hiking trip this summer - I was inspired. I am switching my "one day" to "today" - my "someday" to "today" - my excuses to actions.

Oh and did I mention - I am absolutely terrified?!?

I am an amazing cheerleader - if you have a goal and want someone to support you in taking that leap - I am your woman!  However, to do it myself is terrifying.  I know how to cheer on the leaper, not be the one that jumps. The only problem is, as the cheerleader living in the world of "one day" I watch others achieve their goals, while remaining in the same place. Anyone that has stood on the sidelines likely knows what I am taking about.

So, although I don't have a plan or action steps or anything yet - I am making the declaration that I am moving from "one day" to "today." I am dusting off my dreams, deciding which ones still fit and making an action plan.

Stay tuned to find out what I am going for and how I am about to turn dreams into goals!
