BEING ASSERTIVE

 

Most of the time you end up living your life according to other people's whims. You are lead by irrational beliefs like sacrificing your own principles and comfort for the betterment of humanity is noble (!). Ofcourse helping others is a noble cause for living. But this should not be done at the cost of your life.

Discomfort uneasiness and frustration start building up when you fail to draw lines, set limits, speak up or forget to say No to other people and situations.

The important thing to remember is: "Don't Say Yes when you want to say no!"
