There are way to many things to do in this modern world. So many interesting and worthy things that the challenge is not finding things to say yes to, it’s saying no. When we say yes, we commit time that we can never get back. When we say no, we are preserving some of our most precious and absolutely limited resource to do the things we said yes to better.
Better to have a few seconds of regret saying no to someone, than hours, days or weeks of regret saying yes.
I never realized I said yes so much ! My wife and I have a saying , it’s called ” Nina”i it was a lady in my sons Scout troop that said yes to everything and was good at getting nothing completed . It puts things in perspective quickly for us 🙂
