Be mindful of this. Some individuals wish to be of assistance to you, while others wish to cause you harm. People who appear to be saying the right things but actually have ulterior motives should be given particular attention. Not everybody is reliable or someone to be trusted. You'll learn time management skills faster if you can identify a man or woman's motivations early on.

Keep an eye out for bad behavior if the entire talk is about them. Observe the direction that others want you to go in order to safeguard your reputation. Furthermore, be sure the Lord is prompting you to get involved because you have a limited amount of mental and emotional capacity. You might be misled by even excellent people and worthy causes.

Being a people-pleaser makes it difficult for me to say no. It's not the best motivator, though, to please people. Much more honorable is to have faith in my Heavenly Father. Long-term tranquility and satisfaction may only be attained by developing the ability to say no. You can rely on your Savior Jesus to provide for the need and to look after for you when you say "no" to them or to something. Someone else might be benefited by their "yes" because of your "no."

Saying "no" sometimes takes more trust than saying "yes." As a result, before investing time and money, pay attention and pray. Of course, when faced with temptation, resist the urge to say "yes" even a little. Saying "no" to their approaches and losing a friend is preferable to saying "yes," ruining your reputation, and feeling guilty. In order to say "yes" to the nicest things in heaven, pay attentive and resist earthly temptations.
