The two most powerful words in the world are yes and no. These words shape your future. Stop and think about the power and impact of yes and no.

Two years ago I said no to golf. I enjoyed playing every week but the game was keeping me from reaching goals and maintaining certain priorities in my life.

Here’s the beautiful thing about the word no. It doesn’t mean never. It can mean “not now”. Who knows? I might pick up my golf game again sometime.

Carefully choose how you use the words yes and no. Develop the discipline of controlling your yes and no’s. Don’t let them control you. Your life and ministry hinge on it.
