  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:12
  you by the Great News Podcast. Tired of all the doom and gloom
• 0:17
  news from mainstream media? You'll get none of that there.
• 0:22

• 0:26
  the world a better place. Find it in your favorite podcast
• 0:31
  app. And just to make it easy for
• 0:33
  you, I left a link in the show notes.

  Now let's dive into today's quote from Denise Brennan
• 0:41
  Nelson, a children's book author who once wrote Someday is Not a
• 0:49
  Day of the Week. Wow, Someday really isn't a day
• 0:57
  of the week. And that's simple, direct, and
• 1:01
  devastating because we all do this.
• 1:05
  We say someday like it's a real day, like it's actually coming,
• 1:11
  like it's on the calendar. Someday I'll start that
• 1:16
  business. Someday I'll write that book.
• 1:20
  Someday I'll travel. Someday I'll call them.
• 1:26
  But check your calendar. Last time I looked there was
• 1:29
  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 1:33
  Sunday, but no someday. Brendan Nelson wrote this for
• 1:39
  children, but adults need to hear it more because we're the
• 1:44
  ones who perfected the art of postponing life with that one
• 1:48
  word. Someday.
• 1:51
  Someday is comfortable. It feels like a commitment
• 1:54
  without actually committing, feels like a plan without
• 1:59
  actually planning. It lets you dream without taking
• 2:04
  any risk. But here's the truth.
• 2:08
  Someday never comes because it doesn't exist.
• 2:13
  When you say someday, you're really saying never.
• 2:16
  But I don't want to admit that you're avoiding the real
• 2:20
  question. Will you actually do this or
• 2:24
  won't you? Because if you will, it needs to
• 2:28
  be a real day. Monday, next Friday, March 15th.
• 2:36
  Something real. If you won't, that's fine, but
• 2:41
  stop lying to yourself with someday.
• 2:44
  Brennan Nelson exposes this lie with five simple words.
• 2:49
  Someday is not a day. It's an excuse dressed up as a
• 2:56
  promise. So here's the question.
• 3:01
  What are you saving for someday and when?
• 3:07
  What actual day will you do it? Because someday is not coming.
• 3:12
  It's not on the calendar. It does not exist, But Monday
• 3:18
  does. Tuesday does too.
• 3:22
  And today is on the calendar. Pick a real day or admit you're
• 3:27
  not going to do it, but stop hiding behind someday.
• 3:32
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 3:35
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
