Hey blue bloods, how was your week? It's another Saturday and the end of the month-- something to be thankful for, to kickback and bask in some aristocratic light. Please read with an open mind and have fun doing so.
I was participating in a survey my friend had asked me to a couple of weeks back and then I noticed something, I remember stumbling on it before but seeing this just made me resonate with the fact even more…. In places where there were YES or NO questions, I saw that the next question was “If YES…” It made me wonder, why wasn’t there a question like “If NO…” That’s when I realised “NO” is a sentence, not just a word.

Many of us, I inclusive, find it hard to
say NO to some things and some people that we have come across in life. Funny
enough, you know that just saying NO would be the better option but we always
want to taste the topping forgetting that in a matter of seconds, you are
“downing” the whole ice cream. You
should say NO to picking up that call you know would waste the next 2 hours of
your time which you have planned for something else. I’m not saying that a YES
is evil and that you shouldn’t indulge
sometimes but saying NO as I’ve come to find out, liberates you from as much
headache as you can be free of. Life
throws us a big snowball of questions every day, if you dig deep and weigh your
options, you would find out that NO would be the correct answer to some of
these questions. Whatever you choose
though, be ready to stick by your guns.
I’d sign out with something my dad told me
a few years back- on my birthday, which was, “in life, let your YES be YES and
your NO, NO”. For some reason, those words have never escaped my mind and heart
and I would say they have shaped some of my decisions and helped me to stick to
them firmly, Today, I’m on my way to being the best, because of them…as well as
some other things. Remember that a YES-YES man is not always taken seriously
while a NO-NO man is thought to be a rigid and probably pessimistic human but
if you ask me, when you are not so sure, the NO street is best travelled. Saying YES and then not following through reduces how much people are willing to trust us to do certain things.
Live like an Aristocrat today and enjoy the moment. The skies are blue, the grass is green, the roses are red...life is all about colour and appreciating the seemingly mundane things.
Loads of love. xoxo
