We’re conditioned to believe that we should always say yes to any opportunity that comes our way. We should be grateful for it, whatever it may be, and say yes because of the other doors it could open in the future. But recently we’ve been thinking more about when saying yes to an opportunity isn’t actually the right thing for us. Maybe it’s not aligned to your longer term goals, maybe it’s something a previous version of yourself would have loved but it’s not quite right now, or maybe it just doesn’t spark any type of joy or excitement. There are plenty of times when saying “no” to an opportunity is far better than accepting it and understanding the difference can actually help you get closer to your goals.
