Today I am asked how often do I say “no” to things that would interfere with my goals? I remember this especially from when I was going to college. If I had homework or needed to study for an exam, I would very often say no to friends and family and just lock myself in my room until it was done. In the end, it paid off and I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major and went on to complete a Masters degree.
At this point, I don’t have to say no that much to anyone, but I do have a problem saying no to myself. I tend to procrastinate a lot more, preferring to do things that I want to do, even if it’s not leading me toward anything good. I guess in both cases I was doing want I really wanted to do. I just don’t have the same drive to better myself. Maybe I am still reaping the benefits of past ability to say no.
Do you have a hard time saying no? Do you procrastinate? What major goals have you accomplished? What goals do you have for the future? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!
