than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please,
or what is worse, to avoid trouble.

"No" is a complete sentence, and so often we forget that.
When we don't want to do something, we can simply smile and say "No."
We don't have to explain ourselves, we can just say "No."
Love yourself enough to be able to say "Yes" or "No."

Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one's definition of your life;
define yourself.
