The Season of Saying “No”
Hey, calm souls, it’s Shaybleu here, strolling down the real-talk lane today. I recently stumbled upon this dude on YouTube, Alex Hormozi, who talks about ushering in a season of saying 'no.’ Yep, it got me thinking, and I’m here to share the thoughts bubbling up.
So here’s the scene. We’ve got dreams, goals, and many things we want to do, right? But then there’s life, pulling us in every direction. So, what’s the fix? Well, it’s learning to say ‘no’. Sounds simple, but oh boy, it’s a game-changer.
No to Endless Chats: We all love a good chat but hours on the phone when there’s work to be done. Time to say ‘no’. Your dreams are calling, and they say it’s time to hustle.
No to Every Hangout: The gang’s calling for a night out again. Isn’t that cash better spent on that course you’ve been eyeing? It’s tough, but saying ‘no’ now could mean saying ‘yes’ to bigger stuff later.
No to Procrastination: Oh, the sweet trap of cleaning the whole house before diving into work. I fall for it all the time. But the magic happens when we say ‘no’ to distractions and ‘yes’ to getting stuff done.
No to People Pleasing: Being nice is cool, but not at the cost of your dreams. It’s time to stop feeling bad about putting your goals first. Say ‘no’ to making everyone else comfortable if it’s stalling your groove.
Here’s the real deal. Saying ‘no’ isn’t about being a rebel. It’s about carving out space for what truly matters. It’s about trading the small talk for real talk, the hangouts for hang-ins with our dreams.
This season of saying ‘no’ is the path to creating magic.
It’s about stripping down the unnecessary and going full throttle on what fires us up. It's about facing what’s real, what’s right in front of us, and going for it.
We’re here to create and chase what makes us tick to come alive. And sometimes, it starts with a small ‘no.’
Till we talk again, Shaybleu
“It only hurts you when you say YES to things you do not want to do”
