Learn To Say "No" Without Fealing GuiltyAbout It. Saying 'No' Helps you Prioritize What Matters Per Time.
Stress is killing so many people. Guilt is not far behind. In between those two extremes is one simple word: 'No'. It's probably one of the hardest things to say right?
Why is it so hard to get that word out? We stay mad because we couldn't muster up a "No" at the moment we needed to. We avoid certain people and events because we can't trust ourselves to say 'No' if they ask afavour of us. We worry, What if I ruin the relationship? or Didn't Christ teach me to serve, give, b kind, etc.? But God didn't call us to do everything. A 'No' doesn't necessarily have to be a negative
Lean to Just Say 'No’ rather than be miserable trying to fulfill a ‘Yes’ that should have been a ‘No’.
No is a powerful word because it establishes boundaries. If we can learn to just say ‘No’, it will keep us from wasting years of our lives trying to please others, it will allow us to preserve essential family time, and help us focus on what GOD is Calling us to do per time. Don't say No to GOD and ‘Yes’ to man ...that's a bad idea. Know when to say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to Man(Mankind).
If we truly live by our values, then most of our decisions will already be sure because, they will be based on these values, goals, visions, principles, calling, and more.
Don't ever feel compelled to fulfill someone else's dream for your life. Whether it's hobbies, or career path, people will always see you completely different from how GOD sees you.
Scriptural Reference: "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No? For whatever is more than these is from the evil one." MATTHEW 5:37 NKJV
