Gahhhh…there is no other word that makes me more uncomfortable to say than this: No.
I am a people pleaser. I am a “yes (wo)man.” I have a VERY hard time saying no, even when it’s not in my best interest.
But, you see, there is a gentle art in saying that word. Sometimes “no” actually leads us to “yes.”
Today’s challenge is a challenge indeed. I am asking you to say “no” today to something, anything that doesn’t make your heart sing. Maybe it’s a not-so-happy feeling that’s creeping into your day. Say no to that. Maybe it’s a situation that makes you uncomfortable and doesn’t jive with you morally. Say no to that. Maybe, just maybe, it’s simply filling your schedule to the point where it is overflowing and leaves no time for you. Say no to that.
Whatever it is, whatever you don’t need…say no to it, and then watch for the beautiful yes that will come as a result.
