Say no more

Say no more, or say more nos. Here again we have the crazy English language. No more is better replaced by anymore in my poor grammatical opinion. What I am getting at is saying no more times than you have in the past. No, is a very powerful word. It signifies, resistance, strength, defiance, displeasure, decisiveness and a bunch of other strong words. While yes conveys compliance, sometimes even weakness. Silence might be actually worse than yes in some cases, at least with yes you are speaking up.

Everyone wants something from us in life. Attention mostly, then resources secondarily, but they are almost the same thing. We feel obligated, trapped, damned even.

It’s socially hard to say no, because people really don’t like it, but what about what you like? Are they considering your interest. Let the nos fly high and numerous, give the nos out like candy on haloween. Don’t save your nos for yourself. When you do something reluctantly but say yes or be silent you are saying no to yourself. You will more likely regret for a long time that you went along unwillingly. Especially if something unfortunate takes place. Trust your gut, trust your wisdom, trust all the psycho movies on TV. Tell them no. Nos are free. You don’t owe an explanation. Who is going to save you? The person reading this, that’s who.

Invasion of your space, time and resources must not be tolerated. Absolutely not tolerated. Now lets practice exghaling -nooooooo. Breathe in hmmmmm, breathe out nooooooooo. Very easy. Practice it. No. No. No. No. No. Naa. Neh. Eh eh. Nine. Naw. Eh uh. Whatever style you prefer. Noooooooooo.
