The Power of 'No'

It’s a short simple word: ‘no’.

But for some people, it’s extremely difficult to use nonetheless. Especially so-called ‘people pleasers’ have difficulties saying ‘no’ to the people they intend to please. Which is a shame, because the ability to say ‘no’ not only helps us to not do things that we don’t want to do; it’s also a deciding factor whether or not we’re able to commit to a task and to achieve certain goals. Moreover, the word ‘no’ helps us to stick with our values and principles.

In the word ‘no’ lies great power. And in order to wield this power, it’s essential to see the workings of ‘no’ and how applying ‘no’ more frequently and in the right ways can make our lives better.

This video explores the power of ‘no’.

"Just because someone gets angry when you say 'no' doesn't mean you should've said 'yes'"

[_lean_mean_dean_]

Finally, someone who understands that one's own freedom is just as sacred as other things considered so.

Just writing this for myself so I can view it on top.

How many of us found accounts like this one because we messed up our lives by not saying no?

Ironically, people will respect you more if you tell them no as opposed to being a people pleaser. They won't trust you if they know you're that averse to confrontation.

"If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want will be your sacrifice." -HOLY SHT. I am already waking up to life but this line served as my coffee today. THANK YOU, EINZELGANGER!!

The more you say it, the easier it gets. Practice is key. Good stuff.

“No" is a complete sentence.”
― Annie Lamott

Im not afraid to say "No." I was taught to specifically say no to those I was taught to trust. My parents were drug addicts and fools, they wanted their children to take care of them. I chose "No."

[Phalanx]

It’s funny, I’ve always been raised saying things like “sorry I can’t do that.” Etc. Until a few years ago I always added an apology when saying no but people always saw this as an opening to argue with me. When I started saying “no” matter of factly with no apology the arguments stopped. At work instead of “sorry I can’t do cash jobs” I say “no, you have to have an account with our head office to have work done.” It works like a charm. Don’t be sorry for saying no, don’t be a dick about it either.

People stay in abusive relationships because they believe and think the abuser loves them.. Which is so far from the truth. abusers only love one thing. Themselves

“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.”

No can’t exist without yes and yes can’t exist without no. They give each other power. Great video as always

[ThTriplGoddss]

When you heal yourself and learn to love yourself, saying no becomes an act of love for yourself and for others.
Much love to everyone reading ❤️🙂

"Why should we put others in charge of the one and only thing that’s in our power?"
Very interesting idea! I love it!

I actually cried listening to this remembering past control over my life but they were tears of joy at how I overcame controlling people by studying the teachings of Buddha. Thanks for this eizenganger . Your voice is the best 😍
