How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Generally, I don’t say “NO” but “Maybe later.”

This gives me time to contemplate and evaluate the circumstances and weigh if it’s worth postponing or giving up any of my goals. Of course I try to balance out the occuring circumstances with my goals. Isn’t this all about how life is?

Life is about having goals and fulfilling those goals. By facing blockings, out-of-the-blue interruptions, etc., and fighting to reach your goals, you become stronger. Of course, some people are lucky and have to less disruptions than others. I, personally, belong to the later group of people. But c’est la vie…

All in all, I think the expression “Maybe later” is a very comfortable and diplomatic one.
