'NO' - The Powerful Weapon !

 “When you say “Yes” to others, make sure you are not saying “No” to yourself”. A famous and beautiful quote by Paulo Coelho.

When was the last time you said ‘yes, sure’ to someone but your heart was screaming from inside “nooo”. But what is the use? You have anyway told yes. You might say Oh I can't be so rigid, I am not a rough person to say no. I want to be nice with everyone. Yeah, kind of true, being rigid is not so easy. But I have a small question. Are you happy by saying yes all the time ? Think, think. It’s time to get out of the guilt you have acquired by saying yes to everything. 

Always have your own stand. Never leave your dignity for someone else. Do the things that you like. Never try to do anything to satisfy others. Always remember the people you are trying to satisfy now by saying yes won’t be with you forever. The guilt you acquire after telling yes will be faced by only you. No one will come to share the guilt with you.  

If you don’t like or don’t want something to happen say ‘NO’. Don’t try to give so much explanation to that no and make it complicated. Try to tell no in a way that others don’t get hurt with your no but still you are saying no to it.  Saying no is not that you are being selfish and you don’t care for others, instead you are making a small boundary to your own life and trying to find happiness inside that boundary.  I would say that the courage to say ‘no’ is the powerful tool we have to acquire to be successful in our life.

 

Keep the beautiful words by W. Clement Stone in mind. “Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with Integrity.” All the best, keep telling ‘NO’ with full confidence and courage. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful blessed day.
