6 Things You Should Say “No” To For A Happier Life
“Learn to say ‘no’ to the good so you can say ‘yes’ to the best.”
Quite often, improving your life is not about having or doing more but about removing the things that suck you down. Sometimes, you don’t need to do, be, have, or think more but instead eliminate a few things that drain your energy.
While saying “yes” to one right opportunity can make a huge difference in your life, it’s also true that saying “no” to various redundant things can have a similar effect.
And contrary to common belief, prioritizing yourself and your own needs doesn’t make you a bad person. It’ll make you a happy and more balanced person who’s able to give back to others.
Imagine if we’d all live in alignment and only say yes to opportunities and people that genuinely excite us. We’d end up in a world where everyone could play to their strengths and use their full potential instead of fighting through their days.
As Steve Jobs once said:
“It’s only by saying “No” that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.”
If you aim to be everything, you’ll likely end up being nothing.
