“Make Someday Today.”
All my life I’ve looked for reasons to justify eating chocolate. Finally, I’ve found one. Eating Dove® Chocolates will be great – not only for the happiness that dark chocolate induces in me – but also for my first attempt at blog writing in a series.
Every time I eat a Dove® chocolate I’ve noticed they are like fortune cookies with little life-altering messages on the inside of the wrapper. For example, today’s divine chocolate message told me to “Make someday today.”
Now I don’t reach for chocolate very often, but when I do, these squares always seem to have some kind of inspirational message inside the wrapper that usually hits home with regard to whatever is going on with my life.
Are there things that you have been putting off until ‘someday’? More often than not, ‘someday’ will never happen unless you start taking the actions today that will put the wheels in motion to achieve your goal.
In my most recent example, I knew only two things about creating a blog. First, I knew that I would need to do a lot of writing, and second, I knew that fear of learning to set one up held me back for a long time. Finally, I decided the other day that I needed to just DO IT, and so I did.
Being realistic about goals and dreams, obviously I’m not going to jet off to Australia tomorrow as I would like to, but I can take small steps now that start me on a path to getting there when we’re ready. The key is steady progress toward a goal. Australia is a huge goal because it is an expensive and time consuming kind of trip if I go the way I’d like to…but if I start saving now with that goal in mind…I will get there.
Find what dreams, career changes, new hobbies or experiences you’ve been putting off and decide that today is the day to make a change. “Make someday today.” Just do it.

Watch here for my adventures into the personal growth topics I may find inside of my chocolate wrappers. Man, I love eating chocolate in the name of writing blog entries!
