"Wisdom and inspiration: thought provoking, humourous, delightful, guru-like, quirky, energizing, enabling, challenging, alerting, awakening….the way individuals, teams and groups start every day as a Great Day" – The Replies Book

You don’t need to read a book about learning to say “No” and you don’t need to read a book about learning to say “Yes”.

Saying yes to opportunities and adventures which may offer much learning is good.

Saying no to situations that are not good for you, whether directly harmful or exploiting senses of obligation or guilt, is always an option and often wise.

The rest you can imagine, and spend time with a better book!

Waiting just that bit longer when you are hungry and looking for somewhere to eat in a new town, has always paid in spades for me.

Something new is always an experience, even if it’s not new in tangible ways.

Experience is the new currency. Perhaps it always was.

Today may be the right day for that action. Sure?
Tomorrow, decided upon, might be better.

Developing the sensitivity to know which, there’s the key.

You can learn to feel it.
