Be the one who says YES.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”

- Mark Twain [Samuel Clemens], Humorist, Essayist, Novelist

There’s a lot of talk about boundaries and about saying “no” when you need to.

And not much talk about the magical power of saying “yes.”

What I love about saying “yes” is the immediate expansion that overtakes the mind and the soul.

YES opens the door to unlimited possibilities and surprises. NO closes the door to potential and creates a barrier (and, sometimes a necessary one to keep us safe).

This is my ode to YES.

Imagine the doors that will open for you if you try on “YES” for a change.

Let the butterflies flutter in your stomach unencumbered.
Let your body shake with nervous-citement.

Feel all the feelings of jumping into the unknown void of “who the hell knows what will happen?”
