Steve Austin

“I've always been shy. I get along well with people and am polite to everyone, but to this day I'm extremely private. You can always find another reason not to trust someone. That's just the way things are. I mean, how many people do you really trust?”
― Steve Austin, The Stone Cold Truth

“How? It starts by saying “no.” Saying “no” doesn’t make you a bad person or a mean parent. “No” isn’t a four-letter word. It doesn’t make you a bad employee or selfish. Byron Katie says sometimes, saying “no” to people or projects is actually saying a great big “yes” to yourself. When is the last time you said “no” to reclaim your sanity and serenity? Boundaries aren’t comfortable when you first start setting them. But they’re like the drain plug in Grandpa’s old boat: if you neglect them, you’ll take on more responsibility and pressure than you can possibly keep afloat.”
― Steve Austin, Catching Your Breath: The Sacred Journey from Chaos to Calm
