"No"

The power of "NO". Many people fear this word. It’s funny how when we were young we used to say "No" like it was nothing. Today, things have definitely changed. People are afraid of the word "no".

Such a sensitive word for some people. It’s really not the worst thing a person can tell you. If someone tells you no, don’t get mad or try to be petty. Just simply move forward. Everyone is entitled to the word, NO.

People look at you crazy when you say “no” like you’re always supposed to say yes. Crazy thinking. Little do you know the power of No is extremely powerful. People just fail to use it because they are worried about how someone feels and not how they feel…honor yourself!  

Make sure you are using the word “no” with sternness. When people say no and then end up doing something, that is when your “no” loses a little power. However, you can say yes and then change your mind to no. That’s different. Don’t allow people to take your “no” for granted.

You can do whatever you want, just don’t forget you have the power to say “no” and people should always respect your decision.

Remember “No” is a complete sentence and you do not have to explain yourself.
