(haha. Not exactly, but we’re feeling the same thrill here as to what this article is about…)

So I ran into a thought-provoking article on the web the other day. It talks about saying “yes” in our everyday lives. Why is it that we get so caught up in instinctively saying “no” or “I don’t know” or “maybe” these days? Is there always an innate fear to commit oneself into something we’re unsure of? I like how this article challenges us to go off on a limb every once in a while and see how it feels… Will I actually do it? Hmm… probably not. :-P

Here are 5 reasons to say “yes”:

  1. You’ll learn something. Even if the idea doesn’t fly, you’ll learning something valuable.
  2. You’ll get a rush of adrenaline when you jump in…not with a single toe, but with your whole dang foot.
  3. You’ll realize the value of an idea.
  4. You’ll get a chance to connect with people.
  5. You’ll be inspired.

Say YES. I can’t guarantee it’ll work, but it’ll be one heck of a worthwhile ride.

Try it out… say yes out of impulse…. and try it without hesitation. (Of course, use your own discretion when saying “yes” at the workplace…)

“Can you deliver this product by tomorrow?”

“Yes”

… *Doh!*… I’ve done that one before. ;-)
