The power of saying NO.
I put this picture cause I really like it! It has nothing to do with anything I’m talking about here but thought you guys should see it hahaha
Most of us can relate in the fact that we say yes WAY too much, we say it for things we like and thing we don’t.
We all think that saying yes always helps and is easier to do, the only thing that is true about that last part is that saying yes is easy, we’ve been set up by society to predominantly say yes to almost everything and let me tell you, the most important decisions are the ones you say NO to.
Most of us don’t understand the power of saying no from time to time, it’s very decisive and sometimes harsh but it gets the point across.
The pros? You don’t get abused most of the time since you put your foot down and say no.
The cons? Sometimes people think you’re an asshole. My opinion about this is that it doesn’t matter how much you say yes, it just takes one no for people to think you’re an asshole
You know the saying that goes like: trust goes up by stairs and goes down by elevator? With this it’s generally the same thing.
I think that learning to say no and being comfortable doing it is pretty difficult and has steep learning curve (to crucial things and knowing when to actually say it) it’s easy to say no to stupid things like doing homework but it’s hard to say no to important decisions like a job offer or anything that is really inoirtant un your life.
This article is pretty short since it’s pretty self explanatory what I’m trying to lay out.
Say “no” more but know when to say It.
