Two letters for a single word that can deny, reject or put someone down. This word is what we are trying to avoid because we are all condition that there is nothing good for this word (which is NO!) I read several book about self improvement that will guide you how to handle the NO situation in your life and turn it to YES! Moments… But that’s not what I want to brought out in this article, the reason why I raise this subject is because I want to share to you what I learn. The word NO has a lot of benefits in our life whether in our relationship, dealing to our schedule or even fighting in addiction! Well I think you know where this topic will fall… That is don’t be a ***** to say NO to the things you don’t want Say NO to extra rice if you’re in diet Say NO to surprise task if you want to meet your deadline Say NO to your spouse to the unnecessary expense if you want to meet your target savings! Its too short word to spit-out from our mouth but we are so lazy to say the word NO! NO! NO! I agree that sometimes it takes tons of courage and motivation to say… I’m sorry boss the answer is NO… NO I will not accept that assignment because I need to be with my family in holiday NO I will not accept the promotion if the catch is my neck will be tied-down to the schedule of projects NO! NO! NO! So simple to say but I got to admit even me I had the hard times to say this and I am blissful every time I say it in the moment I need. If the guys invite me for dinner I say NO! I will not eat tonight I am on diet Its break time and my colleagues invite to smoke some cigar I say NO thanks I quit smoking My phone alarm at 4AM and I want to continue sleeping and I say NO I must get-up and do my cardio. Don’t be a pushy Don’t be slave Don’t give away your time unconsciously Say NO if it’s enough Say NO if it’s too much Say NO if you want to stop the old system that brings you nowhere and make a fresh new beginning… SAY NO TODAY!!!

Hi, I know it's imortant to say no. If you don't know when to say no, the other people will answer it for you. They will control your choices. And guest what they plan for you? NOt much! So, do you want to be a not much person or do you what to control your life and grow? The choice is yours... bye Hugo |

You can't say yes to something, without saying no to something else at the same time. Conversely, whenever you say no to something, you're automatically saying yes to something else. You can't have one without the other. The real question is which one we focus most of our attention on. Do we focus mostly on what we want ("yes") while keeping "no" as a back-up, or do we mostly focus on what we're avoiding ("no") while being more careful about saying "yes". I say it depends on a few things. It depends on your personality type. Some people favor large amounts of certainty in their lives, and would therefore probably be better off focusing on the "no". Saying yes to something often involves a larger number of unknown factors. If you favor uncertainty, they you'd be more comfortable focusing on the yes. It also depends on how busy you are. If you're already stressed with the work you're doing, you may want to start saying no a little more often. If you're bored, you'll want to start saying yes. Also keep in mind what you're saying yes or no to. There's no value inherent value in the words themselves. What's important is that you're aware of your options, and aware of what you want. |

Yup AWARNESS plays a big role on our life, its easy to say than done... This aritcle is for people who has loaded stuffs on their TODO list but in the end of the day it seems they did not finish anything even they did whats in the list. As far I can remember Shakespear said "We are only the actors of words" Truly words is just a set of letters but what really give power is the emotions or kind of state we condition to it. I like what you said that when you say no to something you will say yes to other and vice versa. Say no to them then you will say yes to your self. Quote:
