Your Yes Only has Meaning, If You Also can Say No.
— Anonymous
Everybody's busy, but the question I ask myself is busy doing what? You would think that people are getting more done in there lives, gaining more freedom, achieving more, elevating their spiritual lives but really none of that is happening. They're busy but not effectively busy.
They need focus.
Before You Say Yes to Others, Make Sure Your Not Saying No to Yourself.
But to have focus, you need to set priorities.
Some things are a given, and we understand instinctively how important they are.
Family, health, relationships, well-being, financial independence. Pick your choice.
But isn’t the whole idea of a priority something that is important to us and is our focus.
You would think so wouldn’t you?
But I can tell you right now if you don’t choose the things that are meant to be your priorities. All the other unimportant crap will fill that vacuum without a thought.
Take your health for example. That should be a priority but is it?
Are you investing in yourself?
Spending quality time with your family?
Are you taking time alone for reflection?
What about creating a plan for financially independence.
You get my point.
Most people would agree these things are important but yet they aren’t a priority, when they should be.
We’ve been saying 'Yes' to all the wrong things. To choose your priorities you’ve got to know what they are and say 'No' to everything else.
Each time I say 'Yes' to something I should say 'No' to, a little piece of my energy ceases to exist. Never to return. “Yes” has me wasting hours on Black Friday searching for bargains. “Yes” is what has me socialising with people who drain me. “Yes” is what made me settle for mediocre when I couldn’t be bothered to challenge myself.
Your priorities aren’t just the obvious things either. You need time to care for yourself. Don’t believe anyone trying to tell you your mental and spiritual well-being isn’t essential.
It is.
There are aspects of your life you need to say 'No' to at the expense of your Yes’s.
When you do say, ’Yes’ make it count for something. Every 'Yes' is a 'No' to a million other things, but if you use the word with care, then opportunities will open themselves up to you.
And the true power of 'No' will make its voice heard when you eventually say 'Yes.'
Peace
