Simplified Meaning:

Saying "no" is important because it helps us make real choices and commitments. If we can’t refuse something, we never truly agree to anything; we just go along with whatever comes our way. For example, if you always agree to help everyone, you might end up overwhelmed and unhappy. You need to occasionally say “no” to preserve your time and energy for things that truly matter to you. By only saying “yes” when you mean it, your commitments become meaningful and genuine. This helps you live a life that reflects your true values and desires.
