The Downside of Just Say No

The Downside of Just Say No

Life provides plenty of chances to nurture community with those around us. But it’s just as easy to pass.

We’re tired. Our house is a mess. The to do list is too long. That one person we *cannot stand* is going to be there… And off the cuff, we just say no. No.No.

Rest assured, it’s normal to say no from time to time.

But when we forget how to say yes, when our default is to decline, maybe we’re fore-going more than just a cookout or Super Bowl party.

We might be turning down our future support group. Potential life-long friendships. The fan club who will encourage us toward our dreams.

Maybe we’re saying no to a better tomorrow.
