The Power of NO
100 Day Challenge - No Speed Limit
Consisting of two letters and one syllable, the word “No” can be considered to be one of the most powerful words in your vocabulary.
It’s the easiest word for setting a limit, holding firm to boundaries, and being clear about what you will or will not do.
The following are seven simple, effective and empowering strategies for using the word NO:
No – I will not be defeated, pushed aside nor intimidated.
No – I will not make nor accept any excuses from myself or others.
No – I will not allow anything to interrupt nor distract my focus.
No – I will not cheat on my diet and I will achieve my health goals.
No – I will not tolerate negativity nor useless gossip.
No – I will not allow fear nor rejection to slow me down.
No – I will no longer accept anything less than my personal best.
No is a word of pure power that is both inner and out directed, and one that you must implement with authority and conviction.
Your success in life requires a short “Yes” list, and a long “No” list.
The key is an awareness and prioritization of your “Yes” list, and firm boundaries around your “No” list as QUICKLY as possible and that is one of the first lessons you will learn once you begin the 100 Day Challenge.

Saying no to the right things is awesome. What a great post. It provides personal power and greater inner strength to not give into weak indulgences. Self discipline allows you to work harder on your self than on your job.
