Corage: The Gift of No
Saying No is important. I’ll demonstrate that now.
by Sally Eames
I was going to write this week about the importance of learning to say no. Of how sometimes it’s necessary to release things, to refuse things, to let someone else have a turn. To say no so that you can create space for a yes.
But I’m not going to write those things.
Instead, I’m going to demonstrate. By saying no to writing a long, thoughtful blog post, so that I can say yes to time with my family.
Happy holidays.
