“The oldest, shortest words, 'yes' and 'no', are those which require the most thought.”—Pythagoras (570 BC – 495 BC)
The word, “No”, is an effective life preserver that often prevents us from drowning in our carnal desires because we don’t NEED everything we want anyway. In fact, some of things we want are harmful and take us away from doing good. It is important to keep the following in mind the next time you experience a no: if you were living without something in the past or present, you can continue living without it in the future. Believe that “NO” can be an acronym for “Next Opportunity” or “New Options.”
