We live in an age where we can easily decline viable offers because we think that we are above them This easy accessible word: "no" Has saved lives, dignities and cultures But as the saying goes things should be taken in moderation Sometimes saying, "no," to life isn't in your best interest Life must take it's course and the only way that can happen is if we acknowledge the efforts made by others before we so easily reject them One day you will realize that the glass ceiling you have so carefully made for yourself, is broken And you will have to rebuild your shelter with new materials In that moment try not to decline what has already happened Because if you aren't sure of the past how can you be sure about the future?

Glass Ceiling
We live in an age where we can easily decline viable offers because we think that we are above them This easy accessible word: "no" Has saved lives, dignities and cultures But as the saying goes things should be taken in moderation Sometimes saying, "no," to life isn't in your best interest Life must take it's course and the only way that can happen is if we acknowledge the efforts made by others before we so easily reject them One day you will realize that the glass ceiling you have so carefully made for yourself, is broken And you will have to rebuild your shelter with new materials In that moment try not to decline what has already happened Because if you aren't sure of the past how can you be sure about the future?
