How do you react when someone tells you no?
Do you stop in your tracks and turn around?
Do you use it as an excuse to stand still and do nothing?
Does it make you think someone else knows more than you?
Do you feel as if you’ve been handcuffed and are helpless?
Does the word frustrate you?
Does it make you think you are wrong?
Or
Do you start strategizing how to turn the No to a yes?
Does the sound of the word energize you?
Are you happier with a No than a maybe?
Does it bring on a surge of creativity?
Does hearing no make you wonder why not?
Do you believe that all it takes is one big ocean wave to wash it away?
How do you react ?
Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume. ....................................................
