'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.

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
