This being my 100th post, I feel that I should really start on the progression of DJ and force the AFC out of me.
I would like to discuss a large AFC element that has been a part of me forever. This is the lack of ability to say "no" to a request. This could be at a job, in school, a favour asked from you by anyone. Have you ever wanted to refuse, to just say no but couldn't muster up the confidence, courage or balls to do so? I rarely could.
Until today. Today I realized I had made a mistake in accepting a job. What did I do? I called them up and said to them, politely, "no, I can't do this ....". After I hung up the phone, I felt so relieved. So confident. So sure of myself. It took a lot of practicing what I was going to say before I mustered up the courage to call, but I did it.
Just remember, live YOUR life. Not someone else's. Don't always seek to please if it DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT! This is at the root of being happy with yourself and your confidence. Just say NO!
