No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Yes.

Every “No” is a step toward growth.

Rejection isn’t failure—it’s a lesson.

You can’t control the “No,”

But you can control how you respond.

Will you let it define you?

Or will you use it to refine you?

Because every “No” is getting you closer to your next “Yes.”

Keep going. You’re growing.

Love this!!

My husband has been training me in saying no directly.

I had to learn that if I say no, the other person is going to be okay. My culture taught me to never inconvenience other people, even to the point of them needing to say no. So if I needed a ride somewhere, I'd ask in a way where they could now out without needing to say the words, and they did the same to me.

My husband taught me that if someone asks me to do something, there always needs to be an option of saying no, or else it's not a question but a demand.

I’m training my partner about it too. Actually we are guiding all our leaders

Super important! Good job.

A lot of people seem to struggle with thinking it's not okay to say no.

Just what I needed to hear today. Thanks.
