I used to be a romantic, saving myself for my one and only- her name was success. I’d dream of us spending our lives together, conquering our goals and towering over opposition. In my mind, we made a helluva power couple, one complementing the other.
I was loyal to a fault, I didn’t allow myself to look at other women (being: new experiences, hobbies, activities, friendships, different careers, etc.).
For years I was a no man.
My response to anything not success was a decisive and unwavering “NO”.
In this prearranged marriage, I stayed loyal from youth to my early 20s. But her promises were empty, and as I grew older, hunger pains accompanied every metaphorical meal. Turns out you can’t eat off fantasy, I craved reality,
And she just wasn’t….
No means nothing.
All these wannabe success gurus selling, “No means focus” and don’t do this list of things or you’ll never succeed, it’s all horse shit.
All you’re doing is limiting your life experience and making yourself more miserable. You’re not moving closer to success by not going out and talking to people. You’re not moving at all and the key to success is movement.
You don’t need less on your plate, you need more. By adding various activities, you’ll inevitably gain momentum in some direction and before you realize it, you’ll be somewhere.
My advice, say yes and see what happens… keep moving
