… cause then you can say yes!
Having lunch yesterday with the always hilarious Conor Topley reminded me of the power of “no.” As he put it:
Saying no to something is really saying yes to something else.
TRUTH BOMB! Sometimes we feel guilty about saying no. We feel like we “have” to do things. But, next time you feel you “need” to do something, remember you always have a choice. And may I recommend choosing to say no every once in a while. Why?
When you click “not attending” you are able to click “attending” to something better. When you refuse to add something on your to do list, you are making time for the things you want to do. When you say “no” to the voices inside your head that are telling you “you’re not good enough,” you’re saying yes to your true abilities!
Clearly, no is the new yes!
Random sidenote: This week I was asked to comment on the UBC AMS elections by a blog called the UBC Spectator. If you’re interested, check out my post on how to choose your AMS candidate in 7 minutes (or less). Saying yes to voting will allow you to say no to many people running – which is, again, a good thing!
