Letting yourself off the hook

That thing you said “yes” to:

Are you doing something worthwhile?

Or are you simply letting yourself off the hook?

Saying “yes” is easy.

It’s harder to say “no”, to stick to the commitments we’ve made for ourselves and remain consistent about our priorities.

Sometimes life happens; we do what we have to.

But before we say yes to an invite, a request, or a favor, we should start by asking ourselves whether we are simply avoiding something harder.
