Being told 'No'

We probably hate getting No for requests you though you'll get a Yes to.

So many times in our lives, we have been told "NO" to requests we thought “YES" to. It's okay to get a negative response to requests, and sometimes, it comes from people we were certain would give a positive response.

It is even more intriguing and maybe annoying when you do not get a "NO" to your face. However, you will be ignored or blocked if the request is made online. I have had my share of bold "NOs" and cowardly "blocks". It is never about you and has everything to do with them. Sometimes, those requests are not what you need to be granted right now, or it could also be that associating with those people will only hamper your growth, and that is not good for us, right?

For every "No" you have received recently, try to take a step back and ask if you really need that to be "YES" right now; more often than not, you will find out that the negative response doesn't affect other areas of your life, and there are opportunities, people, and requests to turn to. These other people and things would have a good effect, if not better than what we did not get.

I am writing this for you and me.

Loads of love.
