Finish this, "Don't be afraid................"

It can be a quote, or some of your own wisdom.

Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.......

Growing up my family who are "very"  close never expressed those words very often......even though we always felt the love...it would have been nicer to hear it once in a while as it was said rarely........and so now my siblings and myself always end our phone calls with "love you"  and when i had children i told them and still do to this day how much i love them... all the time....................

My favorite: Don’t be afraid of tomorrow. God is already there.

@kelsey17 Exactly. I didn’t hear it a lot as a child but actions spoke louder than words. Now our parents are gone but siblings and kids speak it freely.

Don't be afraid to; agree to disagree. I used to think it was easier just to agree w/ someone than to disagree even if it meant not being me. I now simply say, why don't we agree to disagree, it doesn't really need to go any further than this, but at least now I'm being true to myself. L<3

Don't be afraid....to say no.   It took me most of life to learn that.  As the oldest of 5 siblings, three are disabled.  As a daughter, a mother, a wife, a friend; someone was always asking me to do something for them or go somewhere with them or explain something to them.  And I did.  I suppose partly because that's what we women do and partly because I felt they needed me and if not me....who?  I ran myself ragged for most of my adult life and then, I fell and broke my arm.  I couldn't drive for a while, I had to figure out how to get things done one handed in my own life and I couldn't worry about what othe people needed from me.  And they all survived without me.  They all manged to get their shopping done and to get to their appointments and their cigarettes and their cat's medicine without me.  So, when my arm healed and I was back to normal, I learned to just say "no" to some things and more importantly, I didn't feel guilty about it.  I still help my family out but "no", I will not bring you a pack of cigarettes on my way home.  "No" I will not drive you to the dentist on a Friday afternoon when you know I work and you should have made the appointment on a Saturday.
