I'm reading Brian Tracy's book called No Excuses the power of self-discipline if you don't know who he is look him up he could just help you change your life. But anyway he said this in his book would you agree with this.

"We say that 'Someday I'll read that book. Someday I'll start that exercise program. Someday I'll upgrade my skills and earn more money. Someday I'll get my finances under control and get out of debt. Someday I'll do all those things that I know I need to do to achieve all my goals. Someday.''' Probably 80 percent of the population lives on Someday Isle most of the time. They think and dream and fantasize about all things they are going to do "someday". And who are they surrounded by on someday Isle? Other people on someday Isle! And what is the chief topic of conversation on someday Isle? Excuses!

Would you agree with this that majority of people do this?

Also what could or are you doing to get off someday Isle? If you are one of the 80% who's on it

    I think that's an oversimplification. I'd guess everyone has something that they haven't achieved yet, but very few people are totally "stuck" on someday isle. It's good to specify your targets, though, so if this book helps you do that, then great!

    Meh! I'm a natural procrastinator. I agree it's good to have goals & aspirations or we'd never have anything to work towards.

    Bottom line sometimes for whatever reason things have to go on the back burner in life. And sometimes we may have to circle round a few times before we can achieve something we set out to do.
