\u201c<\/span>Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes<\/span><\/i>, there is nothing half hearted about a no.\u00a0<\/span>It’s a complete answer by itself. <\/span><\/i>That said, you are not closing the door on momentum or progress. When we offer a generous \u201cno<\/span><\/i>\u201d to someone we care about, we honor our work and their role in it. We care enough to offer them insight about the change we seek to make\u2013and to tell them the truth about what we can\u2019t do at the same time that we\u2019re celebrating what we can do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We live in a world where saying \u2018<\/span>yes<\/span><\/i>\u2019 is rewarded by reinforcing social habits, whether in professional situations, sharing responsibilities at home, or even navigating intimate relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you say \u2018<\/span>Yes<\/span><\/i>\u2019 to others, make sure you are not saying \u2018<\/span>No<\/span><\/i>\u2019 to yourself-\u00a0<\/span>Paulo Coelho<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Look at the\u00a0<\/span>Yes<\/span>\u00a0<\/i>sorry<\/span>\u00a0X factor\u00a0<\/i>in saying<\/span> no<\/span>. <\/i>The <\/span>no<\/span> of being <\/span>mediocre, the <\/span>no<\/span> of getting away from doing something that degrades someone else’s self respect or dignity and possibility, the <\/span>no<\/span> of wanting to be mediocre\u00a0and being in a race to the bottom..<\/span><\/div>\n

Short changing<\/span><\/i>\u00a0yourself is easy..saying\u00a0<\/span>maybe<\/span><\/i>\u00a0when you should have said\u00a0<\/span>no<\/span><\/i>, or saying\u00a0<\/span>yes\u00a0<\/span><\/i>when you should have said\u00a0<\/span>no<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/div>\n

Zig Ziglar<\/em><\/span> had a great quote: \u201cI need to be a meaningful specific, not a wandering generality.<\/i>\u201d It is about putting our neck on the line and standing up for what matters, rather than toeing the line and ending up saying yes just to please the person sitting in front of you.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

The most brilliant movies are just that not because of what you see but more for what you don’t.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0In a culture besieged by adding more,\u00a0subtracting<\/span><\/i>\u00a0can be highly relevant and disintermediating and that begins with ‘\u00a0no\u00a0<\/span><\/i>‘.<\/div>\n

Saying yes<\/em><\/span> to the life we all want will begin with knowing our no<\/span><\/em>.<\/div>\n
