There are always going to be people asking you to do things that you don't want to do or putting you in situations you don't want to be in. Sometimes you have to do those things because they're your responsibility. It's called life.

Most of the time though we have a say in what we do. We can say no a lot more often than we think. It's just the fear of what will happen if we say no. "Will they not like me anymore?". "Will I be in trouble at work". Fear keeps us from saying no.

Saying no has the power to free you. It frees up your time and frees you from situations you don't want to be in.

It's a powerful tool that's often underutilized.
