The magic of saying no.
Saying no is hard. Instead of saying no, we try to adjust to doing things that we don't want to do, attend meetings that we don't want to attend and commit to projects that don't align with our goals.
But, once we learn to say no, an unequivocal no, to anything that doesn't align with us, we make the space for magic. The magic of working on something that excites us, that feeds our soul, that makes us jump out of bed each morning.
We can witness this magic only if we say no to most things that come in front of us, in order to make space for the ones that matter.
