Why 'No' is making more meaning to me lately!

We have always been told (rather i have always been told) to say NO to many things. It started when i just learnt to walk and my mummy said -say no to strangers especially if they give you goodies
then i went to Sunday school and the teacher said -say no to those kids who want you to play and not listen to bible stories!

Then off to primary school and i was being bombarded with 'say no' left right and center from everyone, the teachers, my parents and most of all from my big brothers who were very devotedly trying to make if not force me to make saying NO a thing i do before i even know what im saying NO to!especially when it came to boys!

After i went to High school, iv never had to say NO to so many things in my life! I cant start listing them here or else my point of writing "why no makes more sense to me lately' will not be made but trust me I realy had to say no to soooooo many things!

But after saying NO to all these things, i came to a point where i can say NO on my own and i get to choose what and to whom and why i should say NO. Lately it as been a strugle to get many things done and as for me " a lady" i realy need my time for manicures ,pedicures, shopping,looking good, staying fit, spiritual and mental growth! but it is apparently becoming a luxury and instead of all other thing revvolving around my life, im finding my life revolving around them!

I refuse and have made a decision to say NO.
NO to all those 'nice movies or serieses' that make me sleep late and look trumped on the following day
NO to bad hair
NO to bad nails
NO to stupid gossip
NO to fruitles friends
NO to unecessary worries
NO, NO, NO, NO!

Thought it was hard.......... its hard!

So it takes a strong heart to be somebody, do something, go somewhere, give something........and so they say but they say it truly.!

I not only thought that it will all get easy once I was done with one project and the next one and alas! it was the best time to start the other one. So i started, i had all the moral support i could have needed or wanted ... of course from all who mattered and all i looked up to! Going on down the road it seemed like life is good, but little did i know that once your done with the hard stuff and you handled them well, the easy stuff that you don't even need strategies to tackle and you never give it a second thought when your starting, reality gives it to you that actually, it doesn't play that way!

So now here i am with deadlines to meet, pains to bear with, responsibilities to take care of; oh! if only we can see how the sukuma or maize we planted over the weekend will look like in three weeks time, life would be soo easy!

Guess what im trying to say is, as easy as life could seem and as contentment pleasures are enjoyable, take it seriously and easy!

I'm learning.............
