Learn to Say No to the Good So You Can Say Yes to the Best

This is the battlefield where I often find myself fighting the longest. Distinguishing between good and bad is easy enough and comes naturally for us. Yet I often find that because of my nature and disposition (also born out of a culture of "instant" everything) which wants to do everything, accomplish everything, and have everything NOW, I end up saying "YES" to everything.

The lesson I've learned is that I need to set up a system of accountability that will help me choose not between good and bad, but more importantly between Good and Best! This is why I thank God for my family and the company of true friends. They're the "hatchet committee" that guides me in saying no to the "good" things I find along the way and they're also the people who support and stand by me until I can finally say "YES" to the best!
