Worry less about making a mark. Worry more about leaving things better than you found them.*
Austin Kleon

“Yes” is magical. It brings possibility and forward motion. But it’s almost impossible without “no” and can be just as frightening … Getting to know requires caring enough to make a difference and being brave enough to tell the truth.**
Seth Godin

One day,
We’ll want to say “yes” to
the thing we really must do,
But if this is simply a yes added to
all the other yeses then
it’s probably not going to happen,
At some point
we’re going to have to say
“no” –
The really important stuff
demands our soul.
