Saying No Leads to Joy

Saying no to the things we don't want is how we grow our joy. This may include setting boundaries with friends, family and partners. It may involve changing unhealthy habits or no longer spending time with people who don't treat us well. Being able to say no requires first growing our own self-respect. It also necessitates faith that we're doing the right thing even while we're scared it'll damage or end the relationship. But evolution requires us to take this risk in order to grow from where we are to where...

We want to be.
