121:The Power of Saying No

How often do you say No to things, no matter how good they appear? As human beings, we tend to avoid saying “No,” yet it could save us from much pain later. When you say no, it gives you room to concentrate on other important things.

The other day, Scott, a plumber, was fixing a few things in our house. He was working on a Saturday and kept saying it wasn’t sitting well with him. The problem is that he takes a lot of jobs that make him work on Saturdays and keep him away from his son. Scott says yes to everything, and he ends up missing out on important things like family time. 

I talked him into accepting that he can say no, which is okay. I have had to say no to a number of jobs because they do not sit well with my boundaries or vision. You can do the same too. Learn to say no to good things that will lead to you having time for great things. The thing is you have to find a good way of saying no. 

For instance, if you amicably turn down a job because the pay is low, if the company is dedicated to having you take up the job, they will do everything in their power to ensure they get to a level where you can agree.
