The Best Excuse Ever
Do you have a hard time rejecting requests? I do, I say yes too often. Steve Kamb, the founder of NerdFitness.com, taught me the most polite way to say no. The best excuse is just to say you have a rule.
“I have a rule that I don’t decide on the phone.”
“I have a rule that I don’t write reviews.”
“I have a rule that I don’t speak for free anymore.”
“I have a rule that I am home for bath time with the kids every night.”
People respect rules, and they accept that it is not you rejecting the request, but the rule allows you no choice.
I’ve used this method often and it has always worked!

Are you in the Second Half of Your Life?
“Your concern is not so much to have what you love anymore but to love what you have — right now. This is a monumental change from the first half of life, so much so that it is almost the litmus test of whether you are in the second half of life at all” — Falling Upward by Richard Rohr
I love the life that I have now. I wouldn’t want to change anything in my life now. It looks like I am already in the second half of my life.
This quote reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Confucius:
“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.”
― Confucius
