I had to turn a writer down for phone coaching recently.
We all know that saying no isn’t always the most fun thing in the world to have to do, but the bottom line was that his needs and what I offer were not compatible.
So I said no and I felt perfectly okay about it.
In the past, I might have worried that I was hurting this writer’s feelings or that I should work with him because he asked me, even if it didn’t seem like the wisest choice for me.
But these days, I don’t have trouble making the wisest choices for me because I know these are the best choices for everyone.
If I am going to ask you to trust your instincts, then I’d better do it, too. Right?

Good to know even the teacher is always growing and learning. 🙂
I believe in constant transformation. I’m not the same person I was seven years ago and I doubt anyone else is either. Earth is a great school and the journey can be completely joyful. There is no reason to suffer needlessly. 🙂
