The last question - Why am I saying yes - is so valuable. In my life, there are times when I say yes because I have to. I'm not saying I say yes out of guilt or obligation, but I'm also not doing it wholeheartedly. For example, rearranging my schedule to bring my mom to the airport. Or dog-sitting for a friend. Or going to a scary movie with my husband. There are other things I would rather be doing with that time, but I say yes because I love these people. (And sometimes, I admit, I say yes hoping the favor will be returned in the future.) So it is worthwhile, in my evaluation, to say yes sometimes I would rather say no. Does this make sense? Thanks for a great post! Belinda, great thoughts on the Yes/No debate. The last question – Why am I saying yes – is so valuable.

However, I have come to learn that sometimes it is wise to say "no". I will admit there are times when I do not know what to say and I tell someone "let me think about it". I think many times people respond without thinking. So I like to take my time and think about my answer. Plus, I think it is important to keep our word. The worst thing is to tell someone yes and then change our mind. I do not love it when people do that to me so I do not want to do that to another. Hi Belinda,
