Saying No To Yourself

There is no greater disempowerment than saying no to oneself before someone else can do it. It is strange how many things are passed by on the grounds that "That's impossible" and "That won't work out". How does one know without trying! It is far better to try requesting a known impossiblility and being told "No" (which is the expected answer) than to not try at all and hazard losing the possible "Yes" that may come (all to gain, nothing to lose).
Also, why would one wish to accept the first "No"? Everyone is entitled to ask "Why?" in response to any negative answer. Too many people submit themselves to authority figures and discipline themselves before they are even sure that they are crossing a true out-of-bounds marker. Say "yes" to yourself for a change, and watch things really start to happen!
