Don’t Let This One Word Destroy Your Life
*This article was originally published on dgrantsmith.com
There’s a word you have been telling yourself, almost from birth. It might have been one of the first words you heard as a child other than your name.
Other than when your parents repeated “Mommy” and “Daddy” to you to try and get you to speak for the first time.
While this elemental nature might seem like a good thing, there is one word has the power to choke out your growth and life if you don’t take care of it now.
What is this word? NO.
Why is “No” so powerful?
No, I won’t tell you. Not yet.
No, because you haven’t done anything to deserve it.
No, it’s not going to happen.
No, you can’t have it.
No, you’re not supposed to see this.
No, it’s not meant to be.
NO ends the discussion
“No” can stop you in your tracks. It sparks conflict, creates tension, halts the flow of love, joy and promise.
No is an end, and it will end your growth and the hope for a better tomorrow if you let it.
