Eh…. Not often

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

Yes/No

To be honest my Mañana / Procrastination gene has gone into a higher gear in the last few years and I must admit I’m extremely indecisive as well. My goals, or the few I have had, have pretty much been achieved and I’m in a sort of “I don’t give a damn” cruise mode at the moment.

I don’t like saying no to anyone really, it’s just not me and I guess that’s probably why I find my place in society as one of those little worker ants rather than a high achiever. I could have done better, a common statement since school and throughout my adult years.

It kind of breaks me in two to use the word “No” and to be honest I can’t, hand on heart, say that the word has ever featured to as much as restrict my goals or accomplishments in life.

I’m ok, and I’m happy with my lot. Maybe I was just not brought up to say it. Maybe putting restrictions on demands and saying “Yes, but!” Draws a line in the sand instead, and that’s probably as close to the word “No” as I tend to get.

Probably why I’m so damned knackered 😴

Happy day all. Stay safe.

Yes

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

The word yes. I need to replace it more with it’s polar opposite “No”

In my lifetime ambition to please everyone I have realised probably too late in life that at times you just have to say no. People are so greedy, selfish and totally engrossed in their own ambitious fight for wealth and recognition that everyone else gets trodden on and abused.

I’ve realised I fall in to that category and I am often told to stop saying yes to everyone.

It stops now. I’ve had enough and I’m not being used anymore.

I’m going to find it hard but from now on, No will become a more frequently used word in my vocabulary.

Sorry.
