“There’s A Disturbance In The Force”

Haystack

JULY 24, 2018

I say “no” every day, multiple times a day. Even though I know I’m upsetting folks, I try to be direct, open, quick, and honest. Not everyone will like it. So be it. I elect to be consistent and fair rather than liked. Yet, once in a while, when I say “no,” I carry it around with me. And sometimes, as you carry that “no” you delivered around, it starts to get heavier, and you recall it more frequently.
