Yes, be Yes! — Part Three.
Build a genuine relationship.
Continued from the previous article titled Yes, be Yes! — Part Two.

Yes, I changed my school, getting in tune was not easy as I thought, I had to make new friends, drop off the old habit and embrace new ones. I was challenged by my new friends, they helped me realize how important academics are and they made it fun.
There was no shortcut but to study.
There were contests for the best in different subjects.
I was challenged to the point of choosing to be strong or change my department. This unconsciously became a habit that I applied to other areas of my life.
After tertiary institution, I decided to give an intimate relationship a chance.
Imagine striving for a Yes to every request in an intimate relationship. Exactly! I felt prideful because I constantly get a Yes. It was enjoyable in the beginning but leads to a fall in the end.
The last thing a man or woman should desire is a relationship that produces Yes to every request.
I realized that though the principle of striving for a Yes might apply in some areas of life such as in academics, it absolutely won’t work in building a genuine relationship.
It’s good to strive for excellence but Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
May the God of peace abide with us all.
Amen.
