Have YOU ever said YES when you want to say NO?
Did you said that YES out of obligation or to meet someone’s expectation, or just because you were shy to say a NO?
And then….
Then what happened?
You regretted saying that YES
Your heart cried why you didn’t say NO
You wanted to say- NO, NEVER, NOT AT ALL
……………………….and all you said was- YES, SURE, OF COURSE!
We avoid saying ‘No’ because we have been conditioned to believe we can’t, and we shouldn’t. When we keep saying YES to everything we want to say NO, we soon start to pour from empty cups.
‘YES’ steals years of your life. You never get them back.
‘NO’ adds years, and adds life to those years!
Some No’s do you real good.
‘No’, if you ask me, is a complete sentence. You don’t need to support it with a justification, evidence, a reason, or anything else.
You can say NO politely. Instead of saying a blunt NO, you can say begin by saying something positive before declining.
“Thank you for thinking of me. But, I’ll need to take a rain check this time.”
Instead of- No, I can’t come.
Or you can say-
“I’m honoured. Unfortunately, I’ll pass it this time.”
Or
“Thanks, but let’s make it another day.”
But saying NO at the wrong time, or place, or to the wrong person can also mean a loss!
If you say NO to trying new foods, you may not discover new favourite dishes…
If you say NO to social invitations, you may not build a network or relationships
So, say NO to toxic people
But say YES to the ‘learning’
Say NO to regrets,
But say YES to the lessons from saying a NO!
