Just say no

‘No’ is one of the shortest words in the English language yet one of the hardest to say. What if I told you these two letters could be the answer to a well-lived life? It’s an art—the of saying no.

It’s okay to say no—especially to things that don’t give you joy—à la Marie Kondo. It allows you the space to say yes to the bigger things in life—the things that do give you joy. ‘No’ could be the most powerful word in the English language—the word that could open up doors for you to say Yes to that thing, that opportunity, or that person who could change your life.
