Being Assertive!

Assertion, this is probably one of my biggest problem, whether you’re laid back like me, or weak willed, passive, there comes a point in your life when is enough. This point came for me when I realized that to be the man I want to be, taking shit and standing up for yourself is a huge negative!

So jump on the assertive train, and for some it may not be easy, but start small, the easiest way for me was to use this little two letter word (NO) ß This right here, is a powerful weapon that can free you from a lot of things.

Ever been over worked with a lot on your plate and that friend comes to you asking you a favor, but you have too much on you plate, and give them that favor and it breaks the plate….

GUESS WHAT? Saying no saves your plate! And you may probably feel bad at turning down your friend but look at it this way. Would a real friend get mad if you say no? I don’t think so. And what good are you to your friends if you are broken to bits? Think about it.

And asserting yourself doesn't mean being a d!ck please note.
