Knowing When To Say No

Saying No is not always easy to do, it sometimes makes you feel bad and seems like a mean persons.  However once in a while you will find yourself in a situation that goes beyond the limits and you simple have to say “No”.  It is not easy to say no to your friends or people you love and care about.

Pleasing Other People

There are people in your life who every once in a while you may find it hard to say No to because you want to please them.  Pleasing others is not always in your interest, so you need to weight your options.  If you are in a business negation you need to use wisdom but stand up for what you believe and what’s in your best interest.  Take control of your life and stand up for yourself and say no when necessary, don’t always try to please others.

Afraid of Losing Friendship

I have lost relationships because I have said “No”.  Don’t worry about losing friends, set limits and stick to your principles.  If you have a friend you can’t say “No” to then this friendship is not worth keeping.  People come into our lives for a reason and a season so when the time comes for them to go, let them go.

Don’t be Passive

When you were in high school you could afford to be passive, to be accepted by others. Now that you are an adult learn to say No! on your job, your relationship, and be firm to stick with your decision.  Being passive give people the impression that you are weak so they will want to take advantage of you.

Need to be nice  

Others are not afraid to say No, so set your limits and don’t be intimidated to be nice and compromise your morals.   Being nice does not mean you can’t say No, get annoyed, and explode.  So go ahead say No and stick with it.  It may save you a lot of trouble and heartache.  Not saying “No” to be nice is another way of being passive.
