saying No when you want to say Yes
Good vs. God ideas- you have a creative brain that takes a lot in all the time, it is going to come up with ideas that are pretty great, but it doesn't mean they are ideas to move on, especially when it distracts you from the current mission you're on.
saying no:
to people who bring you down,
to the idea that you'll sleep when you die,
to striving that turns into exhaustion
to having something planned every evening
saying Yes when you want to say No

saying yes:
to meeting new people
to attending the event where you won't know anyone
