Just.Say.No

There is a power that comes with saying "No."
"No" is liberating, definite and courageous.

This goes beyond just saying no to a cookie, french fries, a cigarette, a man, or another drink at the bar. It goes beyond just standing up for yourself and goes beyond self-control. Saying "no" takes careful consideration. It requires the weighing of options, people, repercussions, and all feelings and emotions involved. Saying "no" allows you to break free from that in which brings you down. It allows you to stop tolerating and accepting less than what you deserve. Saying "No" empowers you to make the decision to do what is right for you, in every circumstance.
Saying "no" is an endearing leap of faith. It's a pre-meditated decision. It's a step in the appropriate direction. It's a conscious decision that allows betterment. Say "no" to the man that doesn't treat you right, the tempting food that leads to a downward spiral, the warm blankets that are more appealing than your alarm clock, the half-ass workout routine, the people who bring you down, the negative thoughts that circulate in your mind, and the excuses and obstacles you and those around you create. Saying “no” is a choice; a strong, definite, aware, courageous, and controlled choice.
