Cultivate an ability to say no ...
Anonymous:
The desire to be well thought of makes people reluctant to say no to anyone regarding anything. We should cultivate an ability to say no to activities for which we have no time, no talent, and in which we have no interest or real concern. If we learn to say no to many things, then we will be able to say yes to things that matter most. —Sunshine Magazine
A laminated clipping of this quote from Readers Digest many years ago is slipped in the front of my wallet as a much needed constant reminder.

That's important. It's sometimes hard to know, though, what to do when we feel like we should be concerned about something, but aren't. Sometimes it's just guilt, which is unhelpful, but sometimes it's a hint.
