The Power of NO to Shape Our Life

No can be an amazingly powerful, wonderful, freeing word. It is a word that allows us to do work that matches our talents and interests. It helps us stay in alignment with our priorities. And it helps us shape our life into one we love.

How can it do that? By using it when we are invited to do something. Any obligation, commitment or activity that becomes part of our lives usually starts with an invitation. When someone asks you to do something just thank them for asking and tell them you will give them an answer tomorrow.

That's all - just take 24 hrs to think about it. Think about the opportunity. Does it sound like something you would enjoy doing? Is it a good fit with your skills and talents? Does it fit with your priorities? If not - just say no. Be gracious but firm.

When you are careful about choosing activities and commitments that are in alignment with your priorities, and are a good fit with your life, you will fill your days with things you enjoy doing and that make you feel good about your life. You will start shaping your life into one you love.
