However life at times pushes us to experience that quality within us. And I guess that avoiding confrontation is in most cases not the best route to take, if you don't want to avoid people altogether. We humans tend to rub each other ever so often just to experience our boundaries and confrontation in my opinion is not something to be afraid of or to be avoided at all. It is (although at times painful) part of the process of mental and physical evolution and a needed part of getting stronger and healthier in any way.</p> I would say the “Warriors Way” is a synonym and not everyone would like to choose that way.

Wonderful article. I feel comfortable saying “No” when I come from a place of doing good to the other person.

Let me explain, I feel your intention in saying “No” to something plays a strong role in how it comes out. If the intention is to do good for the other person just by saying, “you know what, this is just not the right fit for me”, or “I can say yes now, but I really don’t be able to get to this, so I would rather say no and save you the disappointment”, then the “No” that comes out is elegant and in most cases, the other person is fine.

On the other hand, I feel uncomfortable when saying “No” out of a place of selfishness or doing harm in anyway to the other person. “No, I can’t, I have other things to do” – when I really have my plate clear. The outcome depends a lot on the intention, I think. Your thoughts :-) ?

Cheers, Krishna
