Denise Brennan-Nelson – “Someday is not a day of the week.”
byAndrew McGivern - Motivational Quotes and Daily Inspiration | Quote of the Day

Welcome to the Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.
Today's quote comes from Denise Brennan-Nelson, children's book author, who wrote:
”Someday is not a day of the week.”
Hmmm… Someday is really not a day of the week.
Simple. Direct. Devastating.
Because we all do this. We say ”someday” like it's a real day. Like it's coming. Like it's on the calendar.
”Someday I'll start that business.” ”Someday I'll write that book.” ”Someday I'll travel.” ”Someday I'll call them.”
But check your calendar. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Sunday.
No Someday.
Brennan-Nelson wrote this for children, but adults need to hear it more. Because we're the ones who've perfected the art of postponing life with that one word: someday.
Someday is comfortable. It feels like a commitment without actually committing. It feels like a plan without actually planning. It lets you dream without taking any risk.
But here's the truth: Someday never comes. Because it doesn't exist.
When you say ”someday,” you're really saying ”never, but I don't want to admit that.” You're avoiding the real question: Will you actually do this? Or won't you?
Because if you will, it needs a real day. Monday. Next Friday. March 15th. Something specific. Something real.
If you won't, that's fine. But stop lying to yourself with ”someday.”
Brennan-Nelson exposes this lie with five simple words. Someday is not a day. It's an excuse dressed up as a promise.
So here's the question: What are you saving for ”someday”? And when – what actual day – will you do it?
Because someday is not coming. It's not on the calendar. It doesn't exist.
But Monday does. Tuesday does. Today does.
Pick a real day. Or admit you won't do it. But stop hiding behind someday.
That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
