Too many times in life we allow the word “NO” to stop us from pursuing our dreams. We have to change our view of the word no. Most people start out running towards their dream, hear the word “no” a couple times, and stop running. Y0u enroll in college, but, y0u’re financial aide doesn’t come through. You apply for a job, but, someone else is hired. The list goes on and on. There are many no’s that we will hear in life. But, you will never reach your goal if you stop running every time someone tells you no. The word no is just an obstacle or a hurdle. It does not state whether you will win or lose. It is nothing more than a road block. Sometimes even a small detour. When you are driving to work and run into construction, you don’t turn around and head back home. You don’t give up on going to work because construction told you “no, you can not drive down this street”. You either follow the detour or you create a new path to your destination. You should handle your dreams and goals the same way. Your dreams don’t change just because you’ve run into a hurdle or obstacle. Your strategy may change. Y0ur intensity to pursue your goal may change. (It should increase!) The road you take to your dream may change, BUT, y0ur dream should never change. No should be an opportunity for you to be creative. Find a way to make things happen. There is always more than one way to achieve your goal. Allow God to guide you through, around, or over the road blocks. Success is waiting for you!
