How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
For many people, saying no is packed with guilt. Maybe you’re afraid of disappointing someone. Maybe you are anxious to turn down your boss. Maybe you’re a people pleaser, or maybe someone wants to mislead you to go against Gods instruction.
No matter the reasons, learning how to say no is an important skill for your personal health and well being. Our time and energy are precious resources that we should use wisely. And that means we can’t do everything.
The inability to say no stems from childhood. From an early age, children are taught to be polite. But I must tell you, to resist sin, you must be brutal and say NO! And let your no be resounding
Another reason you may find it difficult to say no is if you doubt yourself. With impostor syndrome, you feel like you are not good enough to do the role that you are in.
Because of these feelings, you avoid saying no to others. You are afraid they will think you are unable to perform your role and responsibilities. It can also make it hard to say no to yourself. You constantly feel that you have to say yes to prove to yourself that you can actually do the needful.
WHEN SHOULD I SAY NO!
1. When I feel uncomfortable
2. When I feel guilty
3. When I am overloaded
4. If others crosses personal boundary
5. When i am obsess to be peoples pleaser
* Do not burn the opportunities, for temporary comforts can give you happiness for a short span of time, but they can never yield you as big, as achieving your dreams could give! Hence, choose your options wisely and act accordingly. Which means you can say No!
* Do not do anything for someone to like you and don’t do anything for someone to hate you.
* If everybody likes you, something is wrong with you. Why worry about those who speak evil about you. Jesus said Luke 6:26, Woe to you if all men speaks well of you. So they speak well about the false prophets
* There’re people out there who will make you feel uncomfortable whenever they are around. It is as if they were born to humiliate, distract, and get in the way of your happiness. Say NO to them, be brutal and resist them.
