It seems counter intuitive but it’s true. Try it. Tell someone “No” today if that really is your answer. You can be kind. Firm but gentle. But if “No” is your answer than give it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you tell someone “No” and they won’t accept it then you need to take a mental step back and ask yourself why not. You know those people right? They just keeping asking again and again. It might be in a different way every time or they might wait a little time and then come back to you but it’s really just creative ways to get you to say “Yes.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bottom line, if you tell someone “No” and they keep “working on you” to change it to “yes,” then they have an agenda.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So then it’s time for you to ask yourself the BIG question. “What’s in it for them?” Because that is what is truly motivating them. Sorry everyone, no matter how much they tell you that it’s about you, it’s really about them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being curious about what’s in it for them is something you can ponder as you are busy building your lovely “fence.” 🤪 #setboundaries

Here's a glimpse of my workplace views. #workplace

I don't want to sound too dramatic, BUT, this place called to me. I know that sounds crazy but I believe it did.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Years ago, I wrote a song called Voice of the Mountain. I'll spare you the strange lyrics, but in short, it is about a Mountain, calling me. She felt I belonged there. Yep! very woo woo for this beautiful Tuesday morning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast forward to a couple of years ago. I told a client that I was looking for a studio space. She mentioned that there was a place at Mount Sequoyah that had just opened up. Being relatively new to the community, I had never heard of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within a week I had toured, signed a lease and secured my sweet studio space that I have shared with you many times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn't until a month or so in when I was driving up the Mountain that I heard my song. Yes! My Voice of the Mountain song. Talk about an AHA moment. At long last, the song made sense to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, you might be thinking that this is all coincidence. But I don't. I don't believe in coincidences. I refuse. I am grounded in the belief that the Divine, the Universe, is guiding me. Helping me. Letting me know that I matter. I have a purpose on this Earth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe that for you too. You matter. You have a purpose on this Earth. And I believe YOUR mountain is calling to you too. Maybe today is a good day to get quiet and listen. #youmatter #listenforyourcall
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sending you love and infinite kindness today as you gently do what is right for you.
