Oh, I agree, that’s the way I WANT to treat my wife and family, but… where do you people get your energy!? My house is filled with 12 day old baby and parents-in-law and two, two and half hour cat naps a night, so I’m feeling a bit more Hell… no… myself.
Still, I think the point remains: if I only did the things I was enthusiastic about, I would only do about 30% of the good things in my life…
[Forgive the Jesus Juke (but Los did one about Ms. Anthony, so I guess it's cool)]:
This video ministered to me. When I go out of my way to prioritize the things of God over everything else, it protects my time better than if I try and say yes to whatever comes my way.
Look, I can actually even prove it with real life experience and stuff! from my post:
“I can recall countless times in my life that the Lord would call me to prayer or to read the Word and I would say to myself, “I’ll just game for alittle while, then prayer after that.”… but that’s not how it works. The desire fades, and I would never do it.”
So simple, yet so profound. This makes me think of a friend I have who tries to say no to at least one thing each day. He swears by this practice and it seems that Derek Sivers might as well. Thanks for this, Los.
Is Derek Sivers an advertiser now here or something? That’s like 3 posts on his stuff in the past week and a half. Not complaining because I love what I’m seeing, but just wondering since the influx of posts came along.
I’m in love with the romance of this concept. I’m also somewhat perplexed and equally convicted by the enigma of duties in my life which should be “Hell yeah!”s and arn’t, and the weight of responsibilities that I must do because they’re right and are “No”s.
RAIN IT DOWN
Great.
Good stuff!!! Needed that.
This is what Ive been trying to articulate (and impliment). THANK YOU for this!
Hell Yeah!
I needed that…
Love it!
so good, so true.
Great post. I think I may need to implement this, but with some “hell no” thrown in.
That’s great until you need a job and can’t find anything worth saying ‘heck yes’ to.
Thought this would be apropos: http://kentuckyparlorpickers.bandcamp.com/track/lynchburg-women
Hell Yeah!
THANK YOU!!! *sigh*
Apparently Derek Shivers has never had a job/wife/child or pet.
The job and pet are negotiable, but in my opinion, the spouse & kids should fall in the “Hell, yeah” category.
I know I want to treat my family that way and to have them treat me that way.

I showed it to my boss…he said “HELL NO.”

At least it got me thinking.
Most of my bosses have been well-acquainted with the “Hell no!”
