I'm still not sure 'till now why I bought these two shirts yesterday. Trying to justify what my impulsive action's purpose was, I just ended up with "Okay, I'll let this pass. I really didn't know why I bought it anyway." BUT... Unsurprisingly, that didn't satisfy me. And so I asked myself again. Was it the color? How the letters were printed? The design? Or maybe that big YES has something to do with this. I felt like the word and I really had a connection when I first laid eyes on these shirts.

Well, I guess everyone has done this thing once or twice in their life. Where when someone asks for something and since that person has just been so nice to you, though you know you can't make it, you still give in and say YES. When family and friends ask for financial help and though you're already having a crisis of your own, you still choose to lend them just because it seemed right. Ofcourse everything would seem right on helping but how about you? Have you thought of what's going to happen when you won't have anything left for yourself? This has been the problem I've been dealing with for the longest time now.

I became too busy saying YES to people, I've forgotten to ask myself if I really NEEDED to do it in the first place.


Being a giver is one of women's characteristics. We go gaga on helping others, to the point that we forget ourselves. We try to do pretty much everything and try to please pretty much everyone. And trust me, that's a problem.

Apart from God, ourselves should also be checked in our priority list. Take the courage to say NO once in a while. Declining is not a sin by any means. Should we sacrifice our own happiness for others? Do we have to help and take care of everyone's businesses? Without a doubt, no is the answer. We should weigh things before even giving in.


As for me, I'm gonna start with this shirt. A simple reminder that I have to say YES to strength and courage this time to learn how to say NO. :)
