IT'S OKAY TO SAY NO

Yes, its okay to say no when certain requests are made of you. Just say it. No! Wasn’t so hard now or was it? And that’s it. No reasons, no explanations, except when it is absolutely necessary to explain. 

When is it necessary to give reasons for saying no? When not giving a reason will undermine the strength of a relationship you place great value on. 

Now, why should you say no? Lets gist. 😉

When you have goals to achieve in life or a certain destination to get to in life, you cannot afford to be a "yes" person. 

Should you go out of your way to help others? Yes, you should. If you cannot help others out of the goodness of your heart, then the fact that you require the help of other people at different points in your life should be a motivating factor for you to help others.

However, when saying yes to a request is detrimental to the fundamental roles and functions you need to play and perform, in order to achieve your own goals as a result of the unavailability of time and resources, you should say no.

You should say no when that request is frivolous. 

Not saying no to such requests usually leaves one feeling spread thin physically, financially, emotionally, etc. 

In other words, you are 'everywhere' but not really making a strong impact 'anywhere'. 

The sad part of this state is that it is all at the expense of your set goals and overall well being!

"No" is a full sentence. Or don't you think so? 🤓

Stay beautiful,
