Guard Your Yes

Every invitation is not a mission

Every request is not mine to carry

If I say yes to every direction

I may lose the road that matters to me

Kindness does not mean exhaustion

Generosity still needs a plan

I can care without becoming Everything for everyone who asks who I

am

Your no can protect

your yes

Keep your purpose from becoming less No to distraction Yes to what

matters No can make your real commitments better Your no can protect

your yes Boundaries can be a form of respect Clear and kind

Honest and true

A thoughtful no can protect the best in you

I can say, “I cannot do that”

Without inventing an excuse

I can offer another option

When I genuinely have one to use

I can guard the time I promised

To my family, work,

or rest Focus grows when I remember

Every yes deserves my best

I am allowed to choose

I am allowed to pause

I am allowed to

ask myself Whether this supports the cause I can be generous Without

abandoning me

A boundary is not rejection It can be responsibility Our

no can protect

our yes

Keep our purpose from becoming less Clear and kind Honest and true

A thoughtful no can protect the best in you

Say yes with your whole heart.

And

let your no protect it.
