This title popped into my head although I have not even decided what I am going to write.

I began my new chapter in The Greatest Salesman by carrying over, “Each nay I hear brings me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter carry in it the seed of success.”

I bet I am not alone when I say that the “nays” can be difficult to hear. So I am now going to Battleship why.

As a red, trying to control the world in the past, a “nay” was a bit devastating.

I think I still struggle a bit believing I am in control of them. So even with permission to call a potential, I was hung up on the other night. I wish I had gone through NARC. It would have been a perfect time. I think I will right now.

“Okay God, I quit. I am done (as I throw my Gratitude and Positive Statements cards in the garbage). (Tears are rolling down my cheeks).

I will live off the government like others do. What do you want from me?!!! (What do I want from me? I continue to cry for a while. Maybe 5 minutes pass.)

I feel a little tougher. I dread reorganzing my pile of cards…as I laugh. And then the smile comes. It is over. I sang this morning, “I am whole, perfect, strong powerful, loving, harmonious and happy!” for the family and me.

I ended up singing the same as I organized the cards. Some of my gratitudes make me laugh. I feel at peace.

That nay has changed me, became my friend opposite as in the past, I would have let it bother me for days. Where do all those nays land in my body, mind and spirit? What have all those stuffed negative feelings done to me over the years?

I give myself permission to send them off in the wind now, be free. I am free to succeed without the tethers. Peace and love for a happy, happy, new year.
