Akin to Jim Carrey’s new movie “Yes Man”, on January 1st of this year I made a promise that whenever a situation presented itself and my knee-jerk reaction would be to say “No”, I would instead say “Yes.”
Now, unlike the movie, I don’t say yes to everything, but I said yes to a good amount of things and I can say that 2008 has probably been one of the best years of my life. Rich with new and amusing experiences.
“No” is such a powerful blanket that we hide behind. It keeps us safe at the cost of being able to enjoy life. Since the experiment was a resounding success, I see no reason not to continue it into 2009.
Happy Holidays!
