Just Say 'No'

Greetings…
Today brings a simple reminder, in the name of health and wellness. It can’t be overstated that we must remain wise and discerning, and show courage in saying 'no', when it is the right thing to do.
All the best as you wrap up the month of July. Here’s to you….

SAY ‘NO’
 
Dear Friend, say ‘no’ to temptations
That result in ruinous ends
Say ‘no’ to negativity
That hopeless pessimism sends 
 
Say ‘no’ to idle words or speech
And to meaningless platitudes 
Say ‘no’ to acts of selfishness
And unfair thoughts and attitudes
 
Say ‘no’ to social pressures, and
Other traps that will hold you back 
Like close-mindedness and conceit
That just lead down a dead-end track 
 
And to things that are untimely
Or aren’t designed for you somehow
A kind, honest way to respond
Is to politely say ‘not now’
