Description
I wanted to write about why saying yes isn’t always the best thing but I was having a hard time getting my head around it. It worried me that everyone might not like to say yes so I was not sure if this would be relevant.

"We look for reasons to say yes and only say no when we have to."
Reading that helped me hone in on what I want to say about being a yes person.
