“Learn to say ‘No’ to the good so you can say ‘Yes’ to the best”

We are faced with an unending and on-going influx of decisions.  We make thousands of them every day.  They arrange from the small to the much, much, more life-defining.  Most agents, who live each day in a people pleasing business, tend to say “yes” far too much.  They over-commit to others and as a result, sacrifice the things they most value.  Our families, friends and even our individual self tend to be put on the back-burner while we indulge the urgent before the important.  Yes, it’s important to work hard through the end of the year.  It’s important to finish well, to have good momentum going in to the New Year, to pay off the credit card bills that tend to mount in the Christmas Season.  But it’s essential to learn how to say “no” to the urgent so that you can say “yes” those that mean the most to you during this holiday season.
