Tonight I went and saw an advanced screening of Yes Man. Jim Carrey is not my favorite but I really enjoyed the movie and everyone in the audience was laughing.
About a year ago I did something similar. I decided I was going to start taking the opportunities that life handed me. I ended up with a random girl (who became a friend) in Vegas for my birthday. We went to the mall where a VIP Host for Body English invited me to be his guest that night at the club. That night at the club I met a couple Australians (one of them being Davide and the other being BFA) and now I LIVE in their neighborhood in Australia.
It’s amazing what happens when you decide to say yes. I’ve never had a problem saying yes to favors, requests, boundary violations
and I’m learning to say “no” to those now. But while I’m learning to say “no” I think it’s important that I still keep the “yes” alive. I’ve kind of gotten off track with that too.
So here’s to more of the good No!s and the great Yes!es. ![]()

Impressive story! It is funny how many silly reservations we have when you think about it… like even just changing the most minute of routines seems stressful.
