The Someday Syndrome
Someday. One day. When. If. Then it’s over. When are we going to wake up
and realize this is life?
This is your life, right here, right now. Wherever you’re reading this page, feeling whatever you’re feeling, facing whatever you’re experiencing, Someday is right now. We’ll always be tempted to resort to the Someday Syndrome, but this mind-set robs us. Someday, when whatever we’re looking for happens, then we’ll start living. When everything settles down someday, then we can savor life. But things won’t settle down. Once we attain what we think we wantmore money, a less hectic schedule, the right jobwe’ll soon realize that it doesn’t fulfill us, and we’ll begin looking for the next big thing.
God did not design us simply to stand by and watch life pass as we wonder why we aren’t more fulfilled. God created us to take risks in faith and to conquer the giants that paralyze us with fear.
