“Why don’t we celebrate the things we DON’T have?”

Got this superb note from a close friend, as well as needed to share it today as a pointer that the trip to flexibility is as much concerning the important things you * do not * do as it is the important things you * do *.

It could not be as attractive, yet it’s still a substantial component of the procedure!

From David Damron:

Random Thought: Why do not we commemorate things we DON’T have? We commemorate repaying financial obligation, however we do not commemorate NOT HAVING financial obligation or otherwise HAVING XYZ membership– My idea is culture partners “not having” with the lack of ability to pay for versus selection not to …

Yup! Dealing with “much less” most definitely isn’t as commended as long as coping with glossy STUFF. Neither is living within your ways, due to the fact that desires a monotonous life like that??!;-RRB- It’s stealth riches at its finest, as well as I concur 100% that it need to be commemorated equally as much– otherwise even more– than our choices that are much more visible/talked regarding freely. Without all the NOs in our lives, the YESes would not be virtually as effective! It’s like an amplifier!

So in David’s honor today, I believed it would certainly deserve making a checklist of all the important things we’ve claimed NO to throughout the years, whether it’s aided us with our pocketbooks or our frame of minds or both.

You do not need to invest hrs on it, however see what you think of in a fast min or more. You may be shocked!

Below’s my very first effort at it:

• I’ve stated NO to purchasing even if I’m bored
• I’ve stated NO to charge card financial obligation for practically a years
• I’ve claimed NO to publication memberships for virtually half a years
• I’ve stated NO to playing the lotto game as high as I utilized to
• I’ve stated NO to eating in restaurants or alcohol consumption as high as I utilized to
• I’ve claimed NO to updating my phone yearly
• I’ve claimed NO to updating my television annually
• I’ve claimed NO to collecting even more STUFF in basic
• I’ve stated NO to squandering my pension very early
• I’ve stated NO to over-priced coffee as well as bagels (MY WEAKNESS!)
• I’ve claimed NO to being a father
• I’ve stated NO to being eaten with job
• I’ve stated NO to doing points that jeopardize my honesty
• I’ve stated NO to points that aren’t a Hell Yeah
• As well as I’ve claimed NO (for life) to attempting to be a person I’m not

Currently never am I best at these, yet you can wager your patookiss it’s assisted tremendously with accelerating my objectives! As well as really feels somewhat great seeing it all noted out like that as well, haha …

So I do wish you take a couple of minutes to see what you can create also. YESes obtain the needle relocating, yet it’s the NOs that truly turbocharges points! Plus it’s rather equipping!

Enjoyable little idea workout anyways, many thanks David!
