"No!"

What do you do when someone comes to you and requests you for a favour, and you aren't really the person that wants to do the favour? Do you feel guilty and end up doing the favour? Or are you the kind of person that can politely say 'no'?

Hello all, I'm the Earthian.

Life is a two way street. Especially the communication part of it. It's important that we communicate with one another , with clarity and tell each other exactly what we intend to. But it's not always possible because some of us think it's rude to say no to people.
I personally used to think that. I could never say 'no' to someone. I used to care too much about being nice and having a decent image of mine in the minds of others. Then as I grew older, I learnt that image is just an imaginary thing. And then I learnt that being nice doesn't always have to come at the cost of our freedom. You see, you aren't obligated to anyone in any way or form. But some of us feel like it. I also learnt that there are millions of people who are ready to take advantage of the goodness of our hearts and make us feel guilty even though it's them that need us. And I get it, it's not really easy to say exactly what we want to. But we have to start trying to.

You see, our freedom is precious not only to us,  but to others too. That's exactly why people try to steal that from us. Beware.

Lots of love, peace.
