We all say yes far too often, especially when it no longer serves us. It's time we stood our ground and said "no" - saying yes all the time isn't always the best move for you personally.

Hey folks, I hope everyone's having a great day. This is another episode of the Life Next Level Youtube Channel. Um, I just wanted to briefly talk about something that I experienced a little bit recently and that's learning to say no, we all have a really tough time saying no, but so for example, a couple weeks ago I had a potential trip plans and some friends were meeting great, sounds like a great experience and I had contemplated saying no for quite a while. Um, and I knew that I should say no, even though it was just a long weekend, I just knew it was gonna be exhausting and I had a lot to finish by that friday and I have to finish this month, but I said yes because you know, I love my friends and my family and, and so I said yes and I went on it. Um, and that's okay, but there comes a time when you're working on something that you have to make the hard call and actually say no, even if you want to say yes, even if your friends want you to say this, even if people are going to guilt trip you because I came back and then I was, you know, I went through a stage of why did I do that? I spent more money than I wanted to spend. I'm now behind on all my stuff. So I guess what I really want to elaborate here elaborate on here is that you can say no and it's okay. One of the best things that you can do, especially if you're, if you're looking to to be successful in another realm or maybe you're going above and beyond and you know, you're going to school while working or you're starting a business while working and you don't have the time to do that. There comes a point in time that saying yes no longer aligns with your purpose or it doesn't serve you anymore at that time. And so it's okay to say no. Whether it be a weekend vacation, whether it be a happy hour because you just know that you have to stay home and get stuff done because you have to focus on you and that's okay. So today, I just want to let you know it's okay to say no sometimes. Um and in fact, I would really encourage you to say no under certain situations, especially again, if you're if you're if you are working hard at your purpose or you're really doing something that you want. But if you say yes all the time, it's just going to set you back and back and back. So, you know, fine, of course you have to find time for yourself and and hang out with your friends and whatever it is that you all do. So make sure to make time for yourself. But sometimes you have to say no as well and that's okay no matter what I'll catch you next time. Remember, learn to say no a little bit more. All right, see you
