The confidence I have now… isn’t the same that I had three years ago. After going through a few situations not only in my personal life but also in my career… I have gained the confidence that I have today and learned the word “NO.” In this self-discovery process… I’ve learned the importance of the word “NO.”
If you ask my parents, I learned that word at the age of three and used it on them my whole life, but with other people, it has taken some time. When you are starting your career, they tell you to be the “yes man,” and never turn anything down. But once you have some experience the word no will help you from burning out. No isn’t a negative word, it’s just a word that helps you build boundaries in life. You don’t have to be at every event and you don’t have to be a part of every community… you just have to do what fuels your soul and will help you sleep at night.
