Saying No and Letting Go: Jewish Wisdom on Making Room for What Matters Most

An inspiring introduction to the most important lesson for today s busy world:
the take-away is to take away.

All we can hope to accomplish by paying attention is to learn to live with the mystery, become more comfortable with not knowing and try to enjoy life s uncertainty. Every day is a gift, but we often squander it by missing what matters most.
from the Introduction

Every day we are faced with choices that entail saying no and frankly we re not very good at it. Whether it s the desire to please, get ahead, accumulate or impress, our lives have become so full and so busy that it is hard to determine what we really need and what s really important to us.

The purpose of this book is to help you regain control of the things that matter most in your life. It taps timeless Jewish wisdom that teaches how to hold on tightly to the things that matter most while learning to let go lightly of the demands, worries, activities and conflicts that do not ultimately matter. Drawing insights from ancient and modern sources, it helps you identify your core values as well as the opportunities that do not reflect those values, and that you can learn to pass up. It also shows you how to establish a disciplined practice to help you adhere to your choices.

Whether it s letting go of resentment, learning to say no at work or to your loved ones, downsizing your diet or asking less of the earth, this book will help you distinguish between the trivial and the profound.

It’s been said, “Starve the negative and feed the positive.” Research shows unequivocally how important a positive attitude is. Attitude influences every circumstance that one may face in life. Perhaps Hugh Downs said it best, “a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.” Most people find themselves attracted to individuals who possess such uplifting personalities, whether they understand why or not. They make people feel good. With this in mind :Quote Me” was compiled. Like most behaviors a positive attitude is something that is learned and developed. It’s through life experiences where this is learned. Winston Churchhill understood this well, “a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Or learn from Ziggy, “you can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.” The decision is yours. Remember though, a choice takes but a moment but last forever.
