Someday I will be known across the world for my art. Someday I will get back into shape. Someday I will live a life where every day has meaning, instead of trading days for dollars. Someday...

But when is someday? How do you get there? Will it ever come?

"Someday" is an illusion. A trap of the mind. It's the blast of endorphins sent from the brain to calm a dying creature. And believe me, friend, you are dying. Every day, your doom draws closer. Time is more valuable then all the riches in the world, and it's slipping through your fingers like sand.

Don't let "Someday" stop you from living TODAY. Give your dreams to today. Start right now. flail wildly, as you claw yourself out of the pit. Scream and fight. Let yourself feel the fire inside. Let no energy be wasted, but to propel yourself forward.

Let your mind writhe and stress on the "hows" and the "whys". Put your subconscious to the challenge, and you will see miracles take place. A world of opportunity will open up right in front of you. They've been there the whole time, waiting for you to look.

Today, I feel the wind on my face. Today I feel the earth under my feet, and I smell the season on the winds. Today I taste the hunger in my throat, as I dream of what might be. Today is real. Real as my own self. Today I am alive.

Open your eyes, and live today.
