Every venture starts with a dream, either before, or
after conception, with our parents wondering about
what may become of us. Then, as we grow up, everything becomes a succession of
visions we call dreams, expressed in "Someday".
The Johmalites story starts in 1940
during the war fought by the greatest generation.
Growing up I was
determined not to lose my dreams to the elusive promise of "Someday"
which keeps most people from ever achieving their dreams.
"Someday" is like tomorrow
which never comes, because tomorrow, "Someday" becomes
yesterday which turns into yesteryear and "I should have done it" which turns into frustration and regret.
"Someday" became a vicious
illusion that destroyed ambition and dreams. Why, simply because we didn't act
on them.
The trick is not to fall into the
dreaded trap of "Someday" and never realize our dreams. The only Question you have to ask
yourself is. "Will I
act on it," or remember it as: "I should have done it!"
I had to learn How
to turn that "Someday"
into "I did it," instead of "I should
have done it."
To accomplish this we have to become
possibility dreamers and decide to
And not to remember them
like the person who once said to me,
"My dreams went up in smoke so
long ago; I don't even remember what they were."
