OUR CHOICES: TO SAY NO OR YES

There are some NO's and YES's that can harm our committed meaningful relationships. Before we say no or yes to someone or something, be sure to weigh the cost of what that choice or decision will do to the meaningful relationships in our lives. Ask yourself, is this NO or YES answer for a temporary person or thing? And is it worth the longterm consequences to come that we want to live out?

• Every choice any of us makes comes with a consequence (bad or good). It's so important that we don't make decisions based off our emotions, how someone makes us feel temporarily (feeding a delicate place within us with their words), fears... You can fill in that "based off our" blank.

• Don't push the person away that’s for you, just because they don't always agree with you. The danger of running away from this can have a lifetime consequene. Yes, there are some consequences that no matter how much we pray, the consequences of that decision remains.
