The Power of No: Bringing a Vision to Life
- At the end of the day, empowerment starts with us. We can’t try to be anyone other than ourselves because it won’t work. We’re all unique, and we need to explore within and do the hard work.
- If you’re seeking validation from others, you’re always going to run into someone who will not give it to you. And that means you’re not going to feel it.
- Pushing ourselves to do things outside of our comfort zones is key to evolving. We often shut things down before we give ourselves time to fully explore and experience. And the only way to create space for the new is to discover the power of no and abandon the things that no longer serve us.
- Start by looking at your life and seeing what you are doing for the wrong reasons. Really ask yourself what’s important to you and explore what you can do to better serve those interests.
- Sometimes all we need is to feel seen and heard. We know when we’re not being engaged in the way we should, so we need to constantly reevaluate what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. It’s a luxury to be able to pause and reflect and ask, but you don’t need external permission and validation. You can stop and ask yourself.
