A Real Life “Yes Man”
Jun 4th, 2009 | By admin | Category: ManifestoWelcome to my blog, Confessions of a Real Life Yes Man.
The idea for this blog came after seeing the movie “Yes Man” starring Jim Carrey. After pondering the theme of the film for a while, I realized that much like the lead character, I had also been saying “no” to new opportunities reflexively, even habitually.
It was quite a wake up call for me to realize how narrow my existence was becoming so I’ve decided to turn a hard left and try something (lots of things) new. More than anything, I want to break out of this lame and uninspired rut by following the movie character’s example. I have decided to start saying yes to all opportunities presented to me until further notice.
So far I’ve seen that some opportunities are more exciting and invigorating (and even nerve racking) than others, but all of them represent an open door to new opportunities I would not have had if it wasn’t for that one little word. Yes.
Welcome aboard and feel free to send me your comments, questions and dares…
