By saying yes to one thing, you’re saying no to a thousand other things you could be doing.
Saying yes to reading a book means saying no to a conversation with a friend, swimming, or cooking.
If we agree that saying yes means saying a thousand no’s, then it makes sense to fully immerse ourselves in what we’re doing, right?
You have chosen this activity from a thousand others. So rather than do it half-hearted while dreaming of something else, just do it. Go all in.
Stay with the present moment and enjoy the challenge. It is all you have.
