Learn To Say No

Learning to say NO is a tough one for most people. We don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Or, we don't want to let someone down.

I used to always say yes. I wanted people to like me...I didn't want to let someone down. About 10 years ago, I finally came to the realization that I could say NO if I wanted to. If I could not do something, someone would be able to do it...I did not have to feel obligated. If someone did not like me saying NO, they could get over it...or not. It didn't matter. I felt good about my decision...I felt relieved...I felt weight being lifted from my shoulders. It was okay to say NO. It made me a better person. It gives you more energy for the things you really NEED to do...or the things you WANT to do.

So, begin saying NO. If you already have too many things on your shoulders, just say NO. If you really just don't want to do something, just say NO. It will make you a happier person.
