7 Reasons You Should Say No in Life

5. To earn respect

People will respect you more if you are aware of what you want in life and how you want to achieve it. Saying ‘no’ is an indication that there is a limit to how far you will go in order to fulfill your dreams. It also shows that you are aware how some things are more important than money or fame.

6. To be clear

Saying ‘no’ tells the other person that you are clear about what you want. It doesn’t keep the situation hanging. “I am not sure” is not a good statement in any situation. Clearly saying yes or no is better than being unsure. You are clear about what you need, then the other person also becomes clear of what is to be done next.

7. To protect your loved ones

If you have a family, then you may have to say ‘no’ to many things and people, simply to safeguard those who are close to you. Since you know what is good or bad for them, the onus is on you to ensure that no harm comes to them.
