This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth. The Power of No is helping improve lives! Today, let’s say “no” to letting the opinions of others control your life. It is often those who are most insecure that fall prey to the opinions of others. Today – say ‘no’ to that mindset.

Stephen Covey said, “It’s not what others think, it’s what you think about yourself that counts. You have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life, not what’s best for everyone else.”

How many times have you changed direction in your decision because you let someone else’s opinion weigh more than your own. Life isn’t a debate class!

Donatella Versace said, “It’s no good being too easily swayed by people’s opinions. You have to believe in yourself.”

I say, let yourself be authentically you – even if the opinion of someone else matters to you – you don’t always have to let it control your life.

Move yourself into a season of positive growth by just saying no to letting the opinions of others control you.

This has been Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day… Now, go out and be fruitful!
