Know your limits. Know when to say
no. There may be a few people who are offended by limits that you set, but
usually those are the ones trying to control or manipulate you. - Page 139 -
More Language of Letting Go
No. What a difficult word to say!
There are often times when I find myself saying yes, when I mean no. I try to
fit one more thing in my day, knowing that I am exhausted. Or, I say yes to an
invitation that doesn't interest me. Or I say yes to helping, not from the
sheer joy of giving, but for the reward of 'being liked' or the guilt that stems
from a false sense of responsibility. Today, I will refrain from saying yes for
any other reason than the love in my heart. I will take care of myself and say
no when it is the most loving thing to do. I will remember there are times when
I do need to, "close the open hand out of love."
Higher
Power,
Thank you for the understanding that I have choices and I can make
decisions based on what brings me the most joy. Knowing, that if I am living
from a place of joy, that all of my relationships benefit and I am free to be
me!
