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.
