Hey dear,
So many people find it difficult to say no to people or to certain people. Infact there are people who do not have the word "NO" in their dictionary and there are others who out of fear of upsetting people will find it difficult in saying NO . Sounds funny but true. If you are reading this and you are one of such people, my dear it's very possible to say no in every aspect of your life including your workplace if saying yes it's going to affect you negatively much later, though there are some workplaces where saying NO is never an option like the military force.
One of the consequences of saying NO is that you will be hated by the one you said it to or the people you say it to but the truth is you know better why you say No and the counter effect if you do otherwise. Only you know what you want and no one else. On a personal note I have heard so many people say I am rude after turning down their offers/requests. Some would even say you are hard hearted or wicked. Infact a man calls me an iron lady for severally turning down his requests. But what they think don't matter as long as you saying NO is for the best. In the long run you get to see that the decision you took was good for both you and the other party. Some people go as far as keeping malice with you.
You also get being hardly listened to when you find it difficult saying No to someone. when you finally say No you won't be taken serious. You might not be so blunt in saying NO but politely and firmly saying it will pass the message well enough.
People also tend to take you for granted due to your inability of saying NO. For instance in your workplace other people's tasks will be pushed onto you added with your tasks and this might lead to mental stress and poor service production. People pick things belonging to you even without asking. There are people you have hardly said NO to but when you say that to them just for once you get to see the true nature of that person. Those who have been taking advantage of your kindness will immediately take things personal.
You get to loose unimportant and selfish friends and keep the good and dependable ones around you. Only true friends will understand with you when you turn down their requests and will not take it personal.
Be yourself always and know your worth. The consequences for saying NO to things you do not want is much better and productive than saying yes to things you do not want.
Quote for the day-“Let today mark a new beginning for you. Give yourself permission to say NO without feeling guilty, mean, or selfish. Anybody who gets upset and/or expects you to say YES all of the time clearly doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Always remember: You have a right to say NO without having to explain yourself. Be at peace with your decisions.”
