Knowing When To Say No

Source

We live in a world where saying no, makes you feel like you're doing something wrong. Right from the early days when you were probably growing up, whenever your parents said no - it gave the word a bad ring.

But the truth is that saying no, is the only prove that you know where you're headed to in life. If people just tell you anything, and you do it without thinking - then they'll drift you away from your goals. And you'll end up being a pawn in another person's game.

People who cannot help but say yes all the time are people pleasers. These people don't have the courage to stand for what they believe is true or the right thing to do. Whenever they feel that their action will hurt anyone in any way, they simply please that person.

But in reality, great entrepreneurs and businessmen who know exactly what they're aiming for, are the people who say no quickly without even a heart beat. This is because they're super clear on their purpose and direction in life.

It's important to know when to say no to people, whenever what they're proposing doesn't align with you, or your plans. And don't feel bad about not fitting into someone else's plan, because you're living your own life; and your own dreams should be your priority.
