Thought Tweet #602 If we had not learned the word "No" when we were young, we would spend a lot less time thinking about our mistakes.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When we were young a lot of people started to say "No" to us. We were made to believe it was wrong to say and do certain things....many things. The rules of "No" versus "Yes" were inconsistent, depending on who was saying them and where all of us were when they were being said. Regardless, when we were instructed "No" we received the message we were doing something wrong...i.e., making a mistake. We heard "No" so many times when we were young we still think about our mistakes, sometimes even the mistakes we made when we were young. 

We should shake that off.
