Today’s Good Words ~ Pay the Price
Every doctoral student I guided toward their successful writing and defense of their dissertation was willing to pay the price. They worked hard. When it seemed impossible, they kept working. When the concepts seemed to hard to grasp, they kept working for understanding. They paid the price. It’s true in athletics. The champions and the championship teams pay the price. They put the work and discipline in to achieve success. It’s the same with relationships. The partners in the best relationships pay the price by putting in the hard work to make the relationship successful.

Today’s Power Thought ~ A Powerful Word
To the degree we can’t say no, we are not free. Here are some examples:
Can I say no to a drink?
Can I say no to a night out with friends?
Can I say no to taking advantage of another.
Can I say no to a supervisor if I think the request is unjust or unfair?
Can I say no to unleashing my anger?
Can I say no to eating what is bad for my health?
No is a powerful word when we use it to express our freedom.
