The Power of No

Most people recognize when it is time to say "no" and push in another direction. However, we have more faith in things turning out positive when there are no signs they will based on what has already happened. I like the Lakers because they rep L.A. in a positive way and there is no way anyone can deny Kobe Bryant is a Jordanesque player, but I think everyone would agree with me when I say modeling in all white is not his thing.

I'm sure everyone involved had good intentions, but when they handed Kobe his wardrobe I'm sure he knew he shouldn't put it on, but he was feeling experimental. After the clothes were off the hanger and on Kobe's body, I can't see how he thought images of his wearing those ridiculous clothes could have a positive outcome. If you ask me, he looked like Ted from Curious George.

Next, what was this man thinking when he walked out the dressing room and let everyone on the set see him in his new get up?

My point is, when you see a disaster coming, why roll with the negative results we know are on the way.

Don't be like Kobe and roll with the punches knowing it will not produce positive results.

Whether you are in a relationship, at a job, or at a specific place in your life that is not going in a positive direction, realize the power of no although Kobe didn't.

Make a U-Turn and keep it pushing.
