Recently, an acquaintance posted an inspirational meme on social media. The quote—of which many are quite familiar—said, “Someday is not a day of the week.” And the meaning is clear: quit putting off those things you claim are important to you.
But in a brilliant reframe, personal and business coach Steve Hardison replied to the post with, “Someday is a day of the WEAK.”
This struck a profound chord within me. There is great power in simple truth.
In every exchange—be it our careers or relationships or personal goals—we have the choice to act from a position of power or a position of weakness. We can be an Owner or play the part of Victim. The decision is ours.
Given the choice, why would we ever purposefully opt for the option that doesn’t serve us?
