Last week we started our discussion on the power of saying
no. Today we are going to look on the power of saying no to oneself. The best
way in staying on top of progress in the path of achieving goals and avoiding
distraction is to master the act of saying no to oneself. This could be achieved by:
1)
Saying no
to pleasure and self-gratification: the word disciple comes from the root
word discipline. We need to say no to routine sex, uncontrollable sleep, eating
junk food and other uncontrollable appetite. If we cannot discipline ourselves
it may be very difficult to say no to others especially when it comes with bait.
2)
Saying no
to basic necessities that are not considered as pleasures: Williams James recommended
that we should say no at least to two legitimate things or acts in our life every
day and watch how powerful and strong
we can be. Example includes eating meals
without so many meats or any meat. It is important that we should not take this
too far else it WILL not work.
According to Brian Tracy, discipline(saying no) is the
bridge between goals and accomplishment. Saying no will not only help us in
achieving our dreams it also protect us from contacting deadly Biological #insurgents
such as #HIV, #EBOLA etc.
