what to say

How many times do we say YES to a job, a new relationship, etc. that we instinctively just know is absolutely and totally WRONG for us, instead of saying NO! Only to later realize just how right we were in the beginning and just didn't listen to ourselves. It's a difficult lesson to learn, often times with emotionally, physically, or financially painful, usually painful in all of those ways. It's amazing how incredibly empowering it is to KNOW what the right choices are for ourselves, your humble author especially, and actually have the fortitude to ACTUALLY DO IT!! Especially in the face of potential and probable criticism, doubts and outright hostility. It's so incredibly worth facing all of that though, because those reactions will NOT be the only ones, there will be those voices of encouragement, and support. Both reactions will probably happen, but it's better to face them, than remain silent, and be pushed towards a life of unfulfilled dreams, and chances not taken. Life is a beautiful experience, live it fully, on your own terms.
