SAY NO TO MANY GOOD IDEAS

ONE OF THE DEVIL'S TRICKS is getting us to say yes to too many good things. As a result, we end up being spread so thin that we are mediocre in everything and excellent in nothing.

There is one guaranteed formula for failure, and that is to try to please everyone. There comes a time in every person's life when he or she must learn to say NO to good ideas. Something that is good and something that is right are not always the same thing.

A good idea is not necessarily a GOD idea. Maybe there is a next great idea is waiting for you to choose.




In fact, the more an individual grows, the more opportunities he or she will have to say NO.

The temptation is always to do a little bit of everything. Remember, saying NO to a good idea does not always mean saying never.

NO may mean not right now.

There is power in the word NO. NO is an anointed word. NO can break the yoke of over-commitment and weakness. NO can be used to turn a situation from bad to good, from wrong to right. Saying NO can free you from burdens that you don't need to carry right now.

YES and NO are the two most important words that you will ever say. These are the two words that determine your destiny in life. It will affect your entire future...
