Your Wheel of Life
If you don’t consciously design your life,
someone else will do it for you
- and you may not like what you get.
2) Learn to Say “No” – With Grace and Ease
You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have
the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically – to say “no” to other things. And the
way to do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside.
~Stephen Covey
Ways to Say “No” ~ With Grace and Ease
• No, for now • No, but here are some resources that may be helpful • No, but have you reached out to our mutual friend • No, I can’t do this but I can do that • No, thank you
Say “no” to say “Yes” to something more important and meaningful.
