If you don’t agree with something, you say so.
This is natural and as hard as it is, we need to embrace it.
When we feel like this, we know that something needs to change.

Its not easy, I realize that.
Alright, people treat this word like its foreign or better yet, a curse word.
When you say no, you tend to feel as though youre letting somebody down.

However, the person youre letting down by not using it when it is necessary, is yourself.
You are an adult and if you dont want to do something, say no.
You dont need an excuse or a story as to why you have to say no.
A simple no is valid and you dont let anybody tell you differently.
You dont think you’ve got the option to handle the bad outcome of whatever youre considering.
This can go for your career, your friendships or even your personal relationships.
I recently met a new friend last week.
We got onto the topic of a girl hes crazy about.
He was too scared to say anything because nobody likes rejection and he didnt want to ruin the friendship.
Making adult decisions by yourself.
Listen, its always good to get other peoples insight.
I know for myself, I have a select few who know me better than I care to admit.
These are the people that can call me out when Im lying to myself or avoiding an issue.
You find a direction and you start to know what you want and not what everybody wants for you.
Its not always fun, but it truly is good for your mind, body and soul.
People will recommend that you find something you enjoy so it doesnt feel like exercise.
I agree, plus it gives you something to look forward to.
Im forcing myself to do something thats hard but beneficial.
I dont necessarily wake up thrilled to put my body through hell, but I never regret a workout.
Its important to show your physical body as much love as you show yourself emotionally.
Taking responsibility when it is necessary.
We are not perfect.
I mean, I make a run at convince people that I am, but it never works.
I know I do almost on the daily.
Always take responsibility for your actions, especially when youre wrong.
If you hurt somebody, apologize.
If you screwed something up at work, own it, apologize and fix it.
Its how you respond to your mistakes that say the most about you as a person.
Refusing to waste your time.
I hate to break it to you, but we only live once.
We dont get redos.
If I have learned anything lately, its that life is too damn short to waste your time.
I spent the last two years battling an uphill battle for a guy I was completely in love with.
Its beyond the point but you better believe that I will never waste my time like that again.
Life is too short to do anything but strive to make yourself a better and happier person.
This one also comes with age.
You just sort of exist there.
The beautiful thing about opinions is that everybody is allowed to have them.
If you dont agree with something, you say so.
You wont be afraid to tell your manager what you want or what youd like to eventually do.
You speak up for the raise you have been wanting.
When you are interested in somebody, you tell them.
When it comes to social games, you could care less.
You say what needs to be said.
