Saying yes to myself

I’ve made some questionable decisions over the years. Like unsuccessfully trying to adopt Madonna’s 1980’s streetwear swagger in college, not buying stock in that start-up online bookseller called Amazon and signing a six-year extension on a fancy office space lease right before the Great Recession struck. My track record has certainly gotten better though. In January 2018, I made a decision that has changed my life forever – to say no more often to others so I could start saying yes to myself.
