Five Words That Will Change Your Life: Personally & Professionally

Five Words That Will Change Your Life–who would have thought it would be that simple? There is a question we have started asking ourselves in both personal and professional scenarios that has changed our lives in every way. Those magical five little words?

Is this my best yes?

This simple question will give you the deeply desired, seemingly unattainable feat everyone is after: true work/life balance, and true joy in each aspect of your life. So how to apply it? Dive in with us below!

Finding The Next Right Thing

Let’s say you are a fellow photographer. A new session comes in, and it’s not your typical style, location, session type, etc. You could be mulling over whether or not to take it, unsure how to proceed. You may even have the very common small business owner tendency of people pleasing–and feeling guilty if your gut is calling you to turn it down. But it all boils down to the question: is this my best yes?

Is it good for your portfolio? Maybe it’s a session type you have been wanting to dive into more, and this could be a great opportunity to do so. Or…is it something you just genuinely aren’t super excited about, and the requested date happens to fall on a day you were hoping for a family getaway day. So what’s the better “yes” in that scenario? Saying yes to a session you aren’t over the moon about, in a session style you aren’t interested in further getting into? Or is the best yes turning the session down, passing it off to a fellow trusted vendor, and enjoying the family day you’ve been super in need of?

What is the best use of your time, resources, and energy?

This is how you can take back control of your life, goals, dreams and desires. Examining every single decision with wonder: is this the best use of my time, resources and energy? When we get to the end of our lives, we won’t wish we had said yes to every single thing personally and professionally, living life burnt out and run down. No.

We are meant to say yes to the things in line with our mind, body, and spirt. When we reach the end, how wonderful to look back and realize, you truly honed in on the crafts you wanted to, achieved those dreams placed in your heart while doing so, all while enjoying your loved ones throughout it all? Using this formula will balance everything out and change it all. It will make you stop and think every single time a question crosses your path. Because you can always make more money, but you can never get more time.
