How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? – Ask the Daily Writing prompt.
Overall judging by my history, I’d say not often. I’m not good at saying “no.” I rarely if ever say no to family and friends. But being a little older now I find myself getting better at it. I’ve surprised myself at some things I’ve said no to in the past year or so.
My goals have moved way up the list of priorities and I always consider them first now. Life is finite and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. So some might hear no from me once in a while in the future also.
