the Best Yes - Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands, by Lysa Terkeurst
Nelson Books
Lysa Terkeurst writes in a conversational, comfortable style that makes reading her books comfortable and interesting. She also has a gift of weaving spiritual truth throughout the sharing of her life experiences.
Throughout the pages of "the Best Yes", the author shares help and wisdom for all of us, especially those of us that feel that we can't say no to any request and try to somehow add yet this new request to our already over-full to-do plate.
Some of those wise tidbits from this book that helped me are:
"The decisions we make dictate the schedules we keep. The schedules we keep determine the lives we live. The lives we live determine how we spend our souls. So, this isn't just about finding time. This is about honoring God with the time we have."
"... We've got to practice wisdom in the everyday places of our lives. ... Never despise the mundane. ..."
"Knowledge is wisdom that comes from acquiring truth.
"Insight is wisdom that comes from living out the truth we acquire.
"Discernment is wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit's reminders of that knowledge and insight."
"Your current direction will determine your destination."
"Fear of failure is the real cause of our analysis paralysis."
"It feels thrilling to say yes to this now. But how will this feel two weeks, two months, and six months from now? ... Could any part of this yes be tied to people pleasing ...."
"We must not confuse the fact that saying no isn't the same as being hurtful."
"... I'm sorry but I can't give it the attention it deserves."
