Saying NO. Is It The Key To Success?

As you listen to the screams lately for more handouts, free programs, and free services, it begs the question, how did people get themselves into this position? Yes, half the gang is yelling for yelling sake because this is their group. What about the other half? We live in the most free and abundant nation on earth with endless opportunities to achieve. How does someone get in the position in life that they need and beg for more free items? If this is you, ask yourself, what if you had utilized the word NO a little bit more in your life?

As you hear the pointless slogans, used solely for emotional reaction purposes, regarding a group of people who have been accused of always saying NO, think about what they are saying. If you do, you will get it. NO, it seems, is clearly a word and an action that many should probably learn again. The inability to say NO is in NO doubt costing generations of people the ability to have a great life. To compound the problem, there is an entire movement feeding off of man's weakness of, I want it now, give it to me now, I deserve it now, and the mother of all, I am entitled to it. The groups sucking people into this mentality know that it is like credit card debt. Once they have you, they own you.

It has been proven over and over again, with examples abound, that the inability to say NO is creating more dependants, people stuck in the mode of having to look for others to do for them what they believe they can no do for themselves. This is incredibly sad and people actually buy into this! Unfortunately, until the actions of the "give it to me for free" crowd shows some semblance of responsibility, they require someone to tell them NO. If we do not say NO, and if we do not stop them from this self-destructing behavior, our fate will be sealed.

Nobody likes to be told NO, but at this point, what is the alternative? There is a major push to develop more dependents and a mentality that people deserve what others have. Let's be clear, nobody deserves what they have not earned. If you are serious about making a real go at life, and obtaining success, you must work off of this premise. Nobody deserves taking from those who have earned it. Being that this mentality is so highly destructive, why is it a rallying cry? It can not be compassion. A truly compassionate person teaches a man to fish. They do not hand him a fish.

The next time you hear someone using NO, especially for political purposes, question their motives. You can accomplish great things in life, no matter what age you are, where you grew up, who your parents were, where you live, etc. Run from any group that tells you anything differently. You are better than them.
