Saying 'No'

Today I found out that there is something truly liberating in saying ‘no’ when you actually mean it. Well, I admit, I didn’t say it straight to the person’s face. I did not even say ‘no’ directly. Also, I needed some (a lot, actually) of reassurance from hubby and mom to let me know that I did the right thing.

I have always been a wimp. It stems from the fact that my greatest fears include being criticized, disliked, and judged. That explains why, when it comes to choosing between good and good, more often than not, I go for the more likeable decisions. Not with the decision that I truly feel would be best. I really should stop being such a people-pleaser and learn to be true to myself.
