You can’t plant everywhere
When we start something, inevitably a voice in our head goes”That sounds like a lot of work.” It “sounds” like a lot of work because it is. If every idea is a seed, the work to make sure it becomes a plant is significant.
The things that matter take a lot out of us. There are no shortcuts. Time is important.
It’s imperative that you don’t try to “grow” everywhere.
Every time you decide to take on more you will have less:
- Less time
- Less effort
- Less leeway
- Less slack
- Less forgiveness
That is why you have to master “no.”
Figure out what is important, and give yourself the freedom to find what matters.
