Take just a few minutes to listen the conversations around you. What I've come to notice is that the word NO is used too much. "No I don't like that", "No this isn't the way I want this to go", "No I won't do that for you", No, No, No. How does any conversation get anywhere with everyone saying no? Maybe that's a funny question, but I feel like so many people are always expressing their refusal rather than their acceptance.
It's also become evident that saying no is easy. Getting your way out of something by saying the word no is so simple, but what does that say? Do you really want to be the person that is never helping someone out when they reach out to you or the person that never accepts an invitation? I'll tell you one thing- people will stop asking if you continue to say no. People will start to refer to you as the person that never wants to do anything or help with anything. You've kind of just alienated yourself. If you remember, I said before, doing nice things for other people will in turn have others do nice things for you.
So... 5 fingers of harmony... turn 5 No's into Yes' today. Say yes instead of no when someone asks you to do something. Say yes if a person reaches out to you for help today. Yes, Yes, Yes. Become more open minded open about a situation by accepting it rather than refusing it.
Easy enough? Great! Open your hands of harmony to the people around you by turning that two letter word into a three letter word : )
