Have
the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right
thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life
with integrity.
~ W. Clement Stone
I saw this quote on Teresa Cline's blog. Just had to print it to remind myself-it's OK to say no.
I think as women we have a problem with saying no. It's our motherly nature to help others. Solving problems, filling in the gaps, saying yes to whatever is asked of us.
There is a balance in life that we need to maintain if we are to be the best we can be. We have to take time for ourself. Our quiet time with the Lord, time to relax & wind down in our craft rooms (smile)-is a must if we're going to be wives, mothers, employees, etc.
Take a few minutes for yourself today.
i am so glad to see you where encouraged by the quote on my blog and yes it is ok to say "no". I hope you are doing well and are still pushing forward!

Indeed its a well known fact that there are set of people who are shy of saying NO, and who dont know how to say NO politely and end up getting into unwanted situations.
ReplyDeleteI do find myself struggling with the fact that i cant say NO to people when i want to. And often i find it hard to handle the situation and end up doing lot of things which i never want to.
Thanks for the encouraging quote Teresa Kline and KC inspired.
