Say “Yes” to Life

The author writes why saying “Yes” is as important as saying “No” to life.

Daily writing prompt
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

I don’t usually say “No” but I wish I had said it more.

I think I’m not clear about what I want.

Sure I want to buy a house, buy a car, a bike, and have a certain net worth. But I don’t think I’m clear on my purpose in life.

I mean I don’t value money or any kind of scarce resource more than time. 

I value relationships, time, people, etc. more than money.

In fact I say “Yes” more than I say “No”.

I want to meet more people, have more interactions, go out more, read more books, learn more courses, etc. 

I don’t want to work more to earn money. I want to do what’s best for me.

And earning money isn’t the only thing in the world.

It is important but it’s not everything.

I think being a good human being is what’s most important. And to be a good person, we need to interact more, talk to more people, understand ourselves, write more journals, etc.

So yeah I don’t say “No” much but I do say “Yes” to things that might interfere with my goals.

I mean what is life more than a journey towards your goals. 

And if you say “No” to the things that would enrich your life in the journey, there’s no point in living such a life.

So I say “Yes”.

Thanks for reading this line! It means a lot.

I feel dogs are the best in spite of me being scared of them

What animals make the best/worst pets?

I think dogs make the best pets.

But I feel that they are scary.

Maybe I think so because I never had a dog as a pet.

I am scared of being bitten by them.

But dogs love me.

My cousin’s dog loved licking me.

But he is really big and scary.

But maybe one day I will keep a pet for my future offspring.

I don’t think there are any worst pets in this universe.

They also have feelings and it would be wrong to label them as “worst”.

But I think dogs are the best.

I love dogs. I think they are the best.

Also they are good for overcoming loneliness and improved mental health.

I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!
