Yes, what an interesting word. Sometime we say yes and we mean it, sometimes we say yes and we are simply trying to move something forward without conflict. But have you ever thought how yes impacts no? Well, one of the first things we learned when learning about how to take control of our time and achieve success is that we need to learn to say No! Sounds simple, but before we can really say no, and mean it, we need to learn to say Yes! But to really say yes we need to know what is important to us and why we are saying yes in the first place. Over the years I have learned to say no more often (still not often enough) but I am still struggling with yes. Sometime I say yes because of the person that is asking. I still say yes way too often, but I am really not saying Yes! Rather I am saying “ok†or simply agreeing. We need to move beyond ok and get to Yes!
So what does all this rambling mean? Take some time to think about what you are really saying yes too. If you can really say yes to the things that are most important to you, it makes saying no that much easier.
Hoping you find your Yes! And I find mine
