Streaming a “no” away
July 14, 2008
A “no” is just a temporary obstacle on the road to success.
Accepting a “no” is acceptance of temporary failure.
Never accept temporary failure as permanent failure.
A “No” has a meaning (for most people).
But if you take the meaning OFF of the “No”, you’ll eventually get the “yes”.
It can take weeks or years… but it WILL happen.
It’s about persistence. Don’t be too forceful – just BE persistent.
Be patient. Patience is a form of endurance.
Endurance is the foundation of persistence.
It’s not about going fast – it’s about going slow without stopping.
If you go slow – the “no” will melt away like a rock in a stream of water.
X: “I really don’t think that this would be the right decision.”
Y: “Alright, but I’d like you to keep thinking about it anyway – Ok?”
X: “OK – but my decision is probably not going to change.”
Keep streaming… you’ll get there.

If you are talking about not accepting failure as an option, then I understand what you are talking about. If you mean something else, I need to hear more.
