Throughout my life I have become very familiar with the word NO, especially when it came to food. My mom was a BIG health nut when I was a kid. I always got string cheese, carrot sticks and crackers as snacks for lunch. In the grocery store, I would try to pick stuff out for school lunch. Mom can I have Gushers? No Can I have fruit snacks? No Can I have Fruit Roll up? No Can I pleeeeeeease have fun sticks???? NO!!!! Always no! NO running, NO yelling, NO talking back. NO, NO, NO , NO!!!
At first I thought No was just a word parents loved to use. As I grew up I realized NO was a popular word EVERYWHERE. I did not let the word NO defeat me though! I just kept going and figuring out ways to accomplish things with out NO getting in my way.
Normally I have been pretty good at being strong and not letting the word no get in the way. Lately I have not had much luck with anything. Not that the word no was literally said but a lot of things just had not been in my favor. I really want to go back to school and I had applied to the program I wanted to major in. I was overly happy that I was approved! The only downside? I found out 3 months before that I was pregnant! So going to school was a big fat NO! This continued to, I wont be able to go to school anyways because daycare costs an arm and a leg! Another NO!
I really learned a bunch when I read this book. No is not the end, no is just a stepping stone in life. Something that you can OVERCOME! All you have to do is step back, re-think things and go at it again! Granted you might get another NO. If you continue to overcome the no's thrown at you, one day you might get a YES!
I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend this book.
