Say yes to something
You can’t say yes to everything. Yet you can always say yes to something.
You wouldn’t want to cram your calendar so full that you’re in a perpetual state of haste and anxiety. But neither do you want to string empty hours upon more empty hours and days.
It can be all too easy to hide away from life, and to cite good reasons for doing so. But just because it’s the easiest choice doesn’t make it your best choice.
You deserve the meaningful experiences that only you can allow and enable yourself to have. Make it a point to give yourself a nourishing supply of those experiences.
Even if it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, a little awkward and slightly intimidating, say yes on a regular basis. Give yourself the chance to continue seeing life from the perspective of new experience.
Many times you’re smart to say no, but don’t let that become your sole response. Give yourself the gift and the richness of saying yes to something.
— Ralph Marston
