The Power of ‘No’

My take on why it’s important to harness its power. 

There are always “things” you want to change or improve about yourself. When you are especially in the mindset or self-improvement or personal development then saying ‘no’ is an absolute necessary. If you are trying to change something about yourself, you must prepare for it by putting yourself in the right situations and surroundings. Only then will you be able to flourish.

Imagine that your mind or body is a plant you want to grow. You need to good soil, water, and sunlight.

Saying ‘no’ is like the fence to your garden. You keep out the things that prevent you from growing in order to give yourself to opportunity to take care of yourself and your mantra.

Recognize what is bad for you and put a fence up between you and it. You must first recognize the weeds before you take them out.
