Yes: Why are you always so negative?
No: What do you mean?
Yes: You crush people’s dreams, say no to jobs that can change family’s lives, and hurt the hearts of those you touch.
No: I say no to give people space to find their dreams, I say no to encourage people to seek out a job they are passionate about, I say no to things that keep people from their families. Have you ever thought about what lives would be like if people only heard yes?
Yes: They would be positive and fulfilled and forever happy.
No: We would live in a world that lacked resilience, impeded growth, and never fought for change. Yes, you are very powerful and kind. We are both necessary words in this world. At times, we both have a negative impact. At times, we both have a positive impact. But together, we maximize impact.
Life is all about perspective. Sometimes no is wiser than yes.
Embrace the no as it means we are one no closer to a yes.
