You feel happy to say No

You deny for a thing you don’t believe in and you don’t give an explanation. Close your eyes and think for a while. How do we feel? Don’t you fly like a bird in that open sky with your wings widespread? Feel that child within you that shouts to speak the truth. You actually feel happy and light. Yes, it is that simple only.

It is important to first believe that you are correct in saying No in a situation. Follow your heart and analyse what it takes to say no. Like a yes stops there only, give no explanation for saying No. You will never oblige anybody by saying yes. This world will keep expecting from you one situation after another. So think before you speak and let your mind decide not heart.

To be happy is in your hands

It is always you who decide whether to be happy or wait for that time when you may be happy. There is a difference between the two. Be clear in your mind what to do. When you are confused, leave it for that moment. Come back and you will be clear. I agree that there may be emergencies when you can’t take a call but nature decides what is good for you.

You need the courage to say no and it takes time. It doesn’t come overnight. The people may feel disheartened at the moment but given a chance they will understand you. At least, it gives you a sense of satisfaction. And your confidence will make the other person respect your decision.

Try it for once and you will definitely feel happy. It was not easy for me but I am in a much happier state now.
