From Someday to Never to Today's Passion

What is it about getting rid of piles of magazines left unread,
trashing accumulated stuff in drawers, donating clothes that
haven't been worn in years, and surrendering to letting go of
projects waiting to get your attention that changes your life?
It has changed my life significantly.

Gradually I let go of the past promises I made to myself to the
many somedays: Someday I was going to ride horses again, so I
kept my tack in tack. Someday I was going to start up the kiln
again to work on porcelain antique dollmaking. Someday I was
going to wear those wonderful hats I had stored in hatboxes.
Someday I was going to shorten slacks that were in the closet
for several years - and also fit into them. Someday I was going
to put together the beautiful candelabra fixture I took down 20
years ago. You get the idea.

It wasn't easy letting go. I felt guilty about letting go;
guilty over money spent; guilty about letting dreams go.
However, I now see that by hanging on to dreams that were held
up in storage, others are now bringing to life. I donated
a lot, sold some and trashed some. I still have more to do.
It is amazing how much one accumulates.

What is available now is a clean slate to create what is aching
to be created. I did rekindle one of my somedays, fashion
sewing. I will keep a watch on this to see if it becomes an
activity I want to resurrect or just a past dream.

Questions have the answers:

1. What are your somedays?
2. Where are your somedays stored?
3. What somedays no longer serve you? Free yourself and get rid of them.
4. What someday are your still passionate about and want to pursue?

Tip: To create space for passion, the future has to be free of
baggage that is clogging the future. Look around your
environment and take an inventory of what's sitting around
taking up space and energy. The list can be overwhelming.
The best way to begin is small steps at a time with small blocks
of time, and with a goal that each week something will be sold,
trashed, or donated. For example: I gave craft projects away
to a high school and they used them for a class project.
A bike I gave away went to a 76-year old nun, who bicycled on
the lakefront for the past two summers. I sold the kiln to a
doll artisan. Do one drawer at a time. The freedom you will
experience will amaze you.

Leadership Pointers

The ability to let go of mundane activities is much like
somedays that take up energy. When spending time responding
to another's emergency, such as emails or phone calls, you take
away from your priority. This action turns your project into
not important and gets filed in the 'someday' category.
Leaders are dreamers of something bigger than themselves.
They also have a myriad of ideas and may have difficulty in
sorting them out, which can lead to 'no action' due to
overwhelm. Constructive, creative ideas left to someday is
not fair to the world. It is a good thing Edison, Bell, Ford,
Mozart and more put their somedays aside and followed their
passion.

1. What are the visions you have in the 'someday' status?
2. What is it you keep doing by rote,which has little significance?
3. What leadership role do you want to develop?
4. What are your 'todays?'

Tip: Block out whatever time you need to reflect on what you
see possible at work, home or play. Maybe it is taking a long
walk or going to the art museum. Doing something that is out
of the ordinary for you will open up new vistas. Have pen and
a notebook to take notes. Note what needs to get out of the
'someday' category, what needs to be trashed, and what passion
is calling you forth. Build upon your vision one brick at
a time, keeping focused on the whole and letting go of what
doesn't contribute.

'What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters
compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is
within out into the world, miracles happen.'
- Henry David Thoreau

For Singles Only

Relationships are often put off until 'someday.' Avoidance
sidesteps the possibility of finding love that possibly would
set one's world on fire. It is ironic, love is the most
important value and yet for many looking for love gets put on
the lower rung of the ladder. Most of the time it is because
excuses are made that there is something more important to get
done. Rationalization takes the place of finding true love.
Daily activities seduce us in giving up our right to find love.
The past clings to the future like it belongs in the now.
There is today with new beginnings and it begins with loving
yourself to attract the love of your life.
Begin today - begin now to be love and attract love.

Tip: Let go of the someday that you will find the right
person to be your life partner. Get rid of the Gremlins that
haunt your thoughts of being undeserving or you don't have
enough time or you are not thin enough or rich enough.
Get coaching, find a mentor, or whatever avenue you desire to
learn more about attracting the love of your life.
You deserve the best and anything is possible.

1. What is it you keep saying to yourself that prevents you from finding the love you want?
2. What new truth about yourself do you want to affirm?
3. What action will you take this week to bring more love into your life?
4. What resources will be helpful?
