It's so powerful to just twist that and saying, if I have trouble saying no to others, that's not my problem.

My trouble is saying yes to myself.

That's what it is.

And how do you say yes to yourself?

Well, you have to know what you want.

Yes.

And then it becomes less about disappointing others.

So many of us have gotten so accustomed to disappointing ourselves all the time.

We need to put ourselves back as the protagonist.

So it changes it.

in that book, it's the other person.

It's the other person.

And I just want to share this because it's so concrete and anyone can use it.
