From Negative to Necessity

Saying “No” is also a positive thing!

How many times have you found yourself forced to say “Yes” or to agree with situations and facts in which you would like to say the opposite?

For a while I was that kind of person; I put myself more in other people’s shoes than in my own, I thought I would be selfish in certain things and even made excuses. But where was my personality?

The fact is that no one needs people who are always on the fence when questioned, if people ask you for a favor or your opinion, you have to be decisive, even if it’s not what the person wants to hear.

“No” is not always a negative thing, it can free you from certain situations, protect you and for now it’s more sincere than a mere “maybe”.

It is a personality builder, demonstrating that we have the right to choose and our own direction. The negative word, sometimes ends up becoming positive by taking you out of obligations that are not your responsibility.

Everything is a matter of choice. No one can force you to be somewhere, or to be on the side of someone you don’t want to be. You need to learn to weigh things up or else besides hurting some people indirectly, you will be brooding over what has already been said.

Everything in excess is bad, just like making “Excuses”, like saying too many “Yes” to things and too many “No’s” becomes negative words. Only you know what really makes you feel good or not.

I like saying yes, but I’ve come to love my dear “no’s” because sometimes they are essential.

Say “Yes” to your choices and to really good things and say “No” to what doesn’t make you feel good, what sucks you in, cut everything that is negative, ending with this keyword; use it to make things more positive in your life.
