You're so right about saying no and the intimacy of a relationship.. it really is an eyeopener to me though, thanks for that.. Indeed, in a true relationship you shouldn't feel guilty about saying no, nor should the other one make you feel guilty about it.. True love is about nurturing each others, but also in helping each other nurturing your own souls... thanks for that great song too, I posted about it on my blog! best wishes to you, I'm glad I found your blog!

I do agree with you, the successful people are those that is able to decide correctly, when to say YES! and NO! Not to be people-pleaser, but not to be fearful or ignorant of opportunities as well. It's a skill we need to learn and keep on practicing! The secret is not to look back and regret our decision, instead, keep on moving forward! Thanks! Robert Hi Wyatt, thanks for commenting here!

Every situation is different, to be able to make the right choice will be the key to our success. Say No! to a request coming from your director in the company for example could be a career limiting move, but without saying No! to poor leadership in some situations could lead to even worse result. Say No! to expectations that casted on you by others is not easy to do, but without saying No! your life could end up driven by the demand of the world that had placed on you. The real smart ones and successful ones are the ones who can master the art of making the right choice. Good post, keep it up! Cheers!
