“You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say 'no' to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.' "
~ Stephen Covey
Sometimes the "no" we have to say is to others. Sometimes that "no" is to ourselves, especially if we have the tendency to postpone taking the next step. Or a first step.
For example, in the past I sometimes sharpened all the pencils in the house and then decided I needed to clean my desk and then felt that I must have something to eat before
I began the writing.
Have you ever avoided doing what you thought was your highest priority in this way?
Today is a day to clarify and strengthen our priorities. That may be as simple as sincerely ranking the errands on our "To Do List." Or it may involve deepening our commitment to the powerful vision inside us.
If there is such a vision or a
burning desire and shining dream, let's say a hearty "yes" to it. Let's repeat that "yes" again and again, as often as necessary.
Not only will that keep us on course, but doors are likely to open, obstacles on the path are likely to be cleared, as Providence meets us at every "yes."
Blessings to you, your talents, and your dreams!
With love,
