December 17 Prompt: Lesson learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?
The best thing I learned this year.. is that it's OK to say NO when you want to! The world doesn't stop turning... everyone's life carries along nicely ... and the person who asked, finds another way to solve THEIR problem and its all good! Nobody dies... I don't need to save EVERYONE in the world.. just me... if you say no, you're not judged... it's quite simple ... and gets easier and easier the more you do it! For 2011... I'm only saying YES when I really want to... REALLY want to!
"No" is such a simple word, but it's so difficult to accept that it's ok to use it! Funny how that works.
ReplyDeleteNo without guilt. Not always easy to learn. Great for you that you have :)
