Learning to say the word "No" is one of the best things you can do for yourself and the people around you.

For a long time, this is something I struggled with.

...and because I was unable to say "No" when it was necessary...

I often found myself frustrated and bitter.

Understand that your inability to use this word will only hold yourself and others back.

It's not rude.

It's not selfish.

It's not inappropriate.
