Another great piece by Liz Danzico:

Just like saying yes, saying no creates your story. It’s what you leave out, not just what you put in, that forms a story, that makes a life. […]

No matter what it is—be it a business, a person, a piece of art, a career, a song, a family, a way of life, or a pursuit of any kind—it’s easy to say no to all the other choices that will present themselves if you truly love something.

Reminds me of the Robert Louis Stevenson quote: “Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things.”

A Lesson in No
