Why do we still struggle with saying no to someone? As grown ass women, men, people we shouldn’t be ashamed of disappointing people because what they’re asking of you doesn’t or won’t bring you joy. Or better yet, what they’re asking of you is out of line. Be strong. Say no! Anything that makes you uncomfortable or is simply not a good idea for “you” is just a hard pass. Be strong. Know yourself. Know what is good for you. That can be an activity that you don’t want to participate in, an outing, a conversation, or what have you. Be strong. Not everything or everyone is a good idea for your world. And if it doesn’t add value to you or your environment…then guess what? Just say no. NO to the person, no to the activity, no to everything.
Short and sweet…but needed to be said.
