Happy Monday!
I don’t have much to say today beyond the Quote of the Week.
These words from Scott Sanders book, Hunting for Hope have followed me for many years. Cropping up every time I start to feel overwhelmed by my to-do list.
A reminder that my stress is a by-product of an ambitious mind that believes more can (and needs to) be done than my physical body and time capacity allows for and can handle.
I heard someone say recently, “When you say no to something you are saying yes to something else.”
This obvious statement was and is beautifully profound to me. Mostly because I don’t like saying no, especially when what I am saying no to is something I really want to do or for a person or a cause I care about and want to support. Yet with every no, I am saying yes to my workable territory.
What about you? What are you saying no and yes to? What is your workable territory?
