Learn to say no from "summary" of Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It by Kamal Ravikant
When you start to love yourself, really love yourself, you start to say no to things that don't serve you. You start to say no to things that you know deep down in your gut aren't good for you. It's not about being selfish. It's not about being a dick. It's about self-preservation. It's about respecting yourself enough to know what's good for you and what's not. Saying no is a powerful act of self-love. It's about setting boundaries and protecting your peace of mind. It's about valuing yourself enough to say no to things that drain you, that hurt you, that make you feel less than. When you learn to say no, you are saying yes to yourself. You are saying yes to your well-being, your happiness, your growth. Learning to say no is not easy. It takes courage. It takes practice. It takes constantly reminding yourself that you are worth it. But with time, it becomes easier. It becomes second nature. You start to recognize when something doesn't feel right, when something doesn't align with your values, your goals, your soul. And you have the strength to say no. People may not always understand why you're saying no. They may try to guilt trip you, manipulate you, push you into saying yes. But you have to stay strong. You have to stay true to yourself. You have to remember that saying yes when you mean no is a disservice to yourself. It's a betrayal of your own needs, your own desires, your own worth. So, learn to say no. Practice it daily. Trust that in saying no to what doesn't serve you, you are saying yes to a life filled with love, joy, and authenticity. Trust that in saying no, you are choosing yourself. And that is the most loving thing you can do.
