In this concise motivational monologue, Dr. Wayne Pernell warns against the habit of postponing aspirations to an undefined "someday." He illustrates how repeatedly deferring goals—whether traveling, learning a language, or picking up a hobby—creates a mental backlog that is never scheduled on a calendar. This accumulation of unfulfilled intentions forms a "river of regret," leaving individuals looking back with "if only" thoughts about missed opportunities. Pernell urges listeners to recognize that the present day is the true "someday" and to act now, turning today into the moment where dreams begin, thereby preventing the loss of years to regret.
