Do you find it hard to say NO?

October 14, 2014 By Karen Main 1 Comment

No

N is for NO
A word not spoken with ease
Gets stuck in our throat
When we are trying to please

Too exhausted for outings
And still we say yes
Afraid we will miss out
The calendar now a hot mess

The kids get rebooked
When the email arrives
We keep signing up
Maintaining busy lives

What if you said no
Not for me at this time
What if you said no
It is not a crime

The freedom that comes
When our choice is expressed
A kind honest NO
Adding more value to YES

This is your one great life, keep it simple and lead it fabulously.

    It is so true that we all say “yes” more often than we want to. I almost said yes to something even though thinking about doing that thing was giving me sleepless nights. Ridiculous, right?
    In our hearts we know we have to say no sometimes but I’ve never thought about the fact, as you pointed out, that saying no sometimes makes the yeses more meaningful!
