The Power of No

I'm getting a little tired of people referring "The Power of Now" to me (that and "The Da Vinci Code").
[Sidenote: It's hard to find good reading material these days. I'm either assaulted by the ovewhelming number of books at Border's or Barnes and Noble, or I'm referred to the same five books that everyone is reading. If everyone is talking about a book, why do I need to read it? It's already been fully digested into the culture and will filter into my psyche ANYWAY. Why do I have to know what everyone knows?]

That said, I'm thinking of writing a self-help book called, "The Power of No" (because I think there's more power in "no" than in "now," and I'm willing to go head to head with Eckhart Tolle (sp?).] It's going to be about my journey through self-employment. I'm hoping it has a happy ending in which all good things happen to those who say "no" to work that is bad for them (i.e., soul-killing, draining, etc). But I don't know, yet, because I'm in the midst of the journey myself...

Just for today, I believe in the power of no.
