The Most Dangerous Word

No. No, you can’t do it. No, you aren’t strong enough. No, you will never be good enough. 

One simple word that holds so much power. We hear the word “no” every day and each time we hear this word, each time we are told that we do not have the ability, power, or strength, our brains react by releasing stress hormones and neurotransmitters. Our brains eventually become rewired to believe that we indeed lack the ability to do what we have set out to do. Our lives become shaped by these negative thoughts and to reverse the damage is nearly impossible. We become stuck believing that we are incapable of accomplishing what we aim to do. “No” takes over our lives and controls our destiny. It truly is the most dangerous word in the world.
