THE SOMEDAY LIE

The silent thief lurking in your vocabulary might be costing you everything. That word? "Someday." It keeps you perfectly still while your life, your dreams, and your potential quietly slip away. This smooth-talking deception feels safe and comforting – until you realize that comfort is actually a cage designed to contain your ambitions and limit your growth.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to
prepare for each challenge alongthe way towards success.
It's not simple, but it can bedone.
Welcome to my Common SenseMotivation episodes.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
Someday is a lie.
You've heard me say it beforeand I won't stop saying it

(00:21):
Someday is the lie that keepsyou still while your life
quietly passes you by.
Let that settle in for a moment, because if you've got a life
to build, a dream to catch, alegacy to leave, someday is the
smooth-talking thief that stealsyour life away.
Why is someday so dangerous?
It feels safe.

(00:42):
Someday whispers, you've gottime, comfort sounds nice.
Until you realize comfort is acage.
Someday feeds the eight enemiesof your life.
Procrastination hands youanother excuse.
Laziness says the couch is justfine.
Doubt questions if you'recapable.
Fear screams that risk is fatal.

(01:02):
Frustration fogs your focus.
Excuses dress up like logic.
Failure reminds you ofyesterday's wounds and should
have piles on regrets.
These eight characters loveSomeday because it gives them
time and room to grow in yourlife.
And Someday rewrites your map.

(01:22):
A tiny detour today becomes acompletely different destination
10 years from now.
One degree off course doesn'tlook like much.
Until you end up on a shore younever wanted.
Turn I'll Start Someday into.
I'll Start Today at 6 pm Time.

(01:45):
Stamp it.
Two shrink the target.
One phone call, one page, oneworkout.
Momentum beats undue plans.
Three set a daily,non-negotiable, a tiny habit you
never skip, because identity isFord's inconsistency.
Four track visible progress.

(02:05):
A wall calendar, a habittracker, a jar of marbles,
whatever it takes to remind youto stay on track.
And five call out your enemy byname.
Nice, try, doubt.
I'm moving away.
When you spotlight the villain,it loses power.
Someday can't help you catch upto your dream.
Someday can't erase regret.

(02:25):
Someday won't silence the eightenemies because they work
overtime every day you don't.
So plant your feet in today.
Write the paragraph, not thenovel.
Make the call, not the businessempire.
Record the first episode, notthe podcast destiny, because
forward motion, no matter howsmall, breaks the line in half.

(02:48):
And remember life is rolling,whether you roll with it or not.
Let's choose today, every day,until someday has nothing left
to steal, make it happen.
I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
