Max Ehrmann says:

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

We are not talking about being a people pleaser. Sometimes the kindest thing you can say is ‘no’. When you speak your truth with authenticity and grace, others will follow. They may not want to hear it or agree with you, but life is not about being in ‘yes’ with others as much as it is being in ‘yes’ with yourself.
