I still stop often to hear what people have to say. **I am not advising we ignore people who are passionate about a business or a cause. They simply went on to the very next person and asked them for their time. Can I tell you what happened? The businesses did not fail, and families did not fall apart. I could actually say “NO,” and the world would not end. Until I discovered… I HAD THE POWER TO NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER. And I’m not joking when I say I would pretend to take calls from my mom walking through the mall whenever I saw the guy with the fake hair extension clips even glance my way. I would purposely go in the furthest door away at Walmart in order to avoid people handing out pamphlets. We end up buying things we don’t really want, being late for dinner because we’re talking to a stranger, and having super soft hands from the hand scrubs (that’s a pro tip there, always say yes to those).įor many years, I thought that because I was this type of person, it inevitably meant that I would have to continue to say “yes” in all of these situations, even when I needed to say no. If any of you are reading this right now thinking, “Okay, I relate to this on a personal level”, then I just want to say welcome to the club! One thing a lot of us in this club have in common is that we have a tough time saying “no” in situations. “Homeless or hurt dogs? Say no more, I’m coming to talk to you now.” (cue “in the arms of the angels”).But if you tell me how you made it on your family orange grove that your great-grandpa created from the ground up then you BET your bottom dollar I’ll buy it.” “I see that you’re selling a bottle of juice for seven dollars when it should actually cost one dollar.“Oh you’re giving out free samples of hand scrub? If you so much as make eye contact with me, I will feel obligated to let you scrub my hands in the middle of the mall.
Here are a few things that the light apparently displays to strangers depending on the day and situation: It’s not just blinking, but it has strobe lights. Every time I go anywhere, it’s like I have a huge blinking sign on my head.
