Sometimes you are so afraid of the consequences that you make the wrong decisions. There are several mistakes in my life that I wanted to say NO to, but as usual the fear of consequences held me back. Sometimes I just wanted to walk of the situations, sometimes I wanted to leave things as they were, but its not as easy as it seems to say NO. Why we don’t have courage to say NO?, Why we are afraid of saying NO?

I couldn’t say NO because I was so hell bent to prove myself, I couldn’t say NO because I was so afraid that i might loose it, I couldn’t… because I was weak, because I thought if i’d say yes i might hold it back, I always thought of what will happen if I say NO, I never considered the circumstances of saying YES. Maybe saying YES saves you for that moment, maybe saying YES would have given you more moments of happiness, but what about when these moments pass?, what about the moment you face reality?, What about the moment you realise that saying NO would have been difficult but it would have been better?, What about the guilt you carry on for your life thinking that, ‘I could have said NO’.

Mistakes are hard to cope up with, and especially the one you know that you could have avoided it. You might get used to live with your mistake, but what will you do about your guilt, that gets hounding back to you? Its easy to forgive others but its way too difficult to forgive yourself. Its easy to understand others, but it is as equal difficult to understand yourself. NO is two letter words, but it consists the meaning of our lives. It is difficult to adopt this word in your life, but once you adopt it, life becomes easy. Learn to say NO to lies, say NO to ‘pleasing other people’ say NO to ‘disrespecting your self – respect’ , say NO to ‘rotten and negative people’, say NO to ‘standing against your own consent’. You were not born to live life for others, you were born to live your life for yourself. Just say ‘NO’ to the things you don’t want … this simple word makes the life even more simpler. Adopt it for yourself and not for others… Its just a ‘NO’…
