Candace Cameron Bure had an inspiring take on hearing the word “no.” The actress, author, and podcast host shared how she responded when she was told no in her life. Watch the short clip to hear the encouraging and powerful way Candace has reacted whenever she encounters an obstacle.

It requires a fair amount of persistence and perseverance to accomplish anything and to get anywhere in life. Whether it’s personal or professional, there will be a lot of ups and downs. Many of those obstacles will come from people, naysayers who say something is impossible. They will say why this or that cannot be done, or they will simply respond with “no” and move along.

“No” is a word everyone is familiar with. Although it may only be two letters, hearing it can be soul-crushing, depending on the situation. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares the unique way she has handled it when someone told her no in her life. Instead of allowing the harsh, straightforward response to keep her down, she has turned those situations into opportunities.

“We have figured out solutions to a lot of nos in my life and my career,” she said. “And so, people have shut that door and said, ‘No, that would never work. We’ve never done that before.’ And we come back and go, ‘Great, you’ve never done that before. Let us show you a way in which we can do that.’”

Later in the clip, Candace added that when someone responds negatively and states something is impossible for whatever reason, we should remember that we serve a mighty, all-powerful God capable of anything.

“And so, it’s a good lesson for all of you guys,” she said. “Don’t take a no at face value, and if someone tells you, like, ‘No, it’s never been done.’ Well, it doesn’t mean God can’t do that for you, and God can’t do it differently through you.”

Luke 1:37 “For there is nothing which God is not able to do.”
