Luke 4 in the Bible says that once the word got out about Jesus' power to heal the sick and cast out demons, people flocked to him and didn't want him to leave. But he did leave so he could preach about the Kingdom of God to other cities. He said "No" to a good thing in order to say "Yes" to the best thing even if it meant disappointing others. If disappointing others paralyzes you, prepare to be enslaved. Being kingdom focused even if it upsets others and choosing what's best is what's best.
