Yes and no
Perhaps life is simply a process of discovery by elimination.
You must be willing to say yes to all of it and then, after, brave enough to say no to most of it.
Identifies are built through specificity, not generality, but specificity is only achieved through refining. To refine, you must first create.
You must put all the words on the page before you cut them down.
You will be urged by some to start saying ‘yes’ and by others to start saying ‘no’.
I say you will need both. Yeses first, and then the no’s. Refinement will follow creation, and this cycle will repeat for a lifetime.
Where are you right now? Handing out yeses or sticking to no’s?
