Yes. Yes. and More Yes.

Well, I guess today is the day that I decide to share some thoughts... It's been too long.  Again. 

As of late, things have been.... well.. wonderful. Operation Awesome. Success.  YES!

I am not entirely sure when things took their turn, but they did, and I could not be more thankful. 

As I chatted on the phone last night with a friend, I mentioned to her that I had decided to be the "Yes Woman"... internally of course.  I am not prancing around with a tag on my shirt proclaiming myself the "Yes Woman", instead I am choosing to say YES to pretty much any opportunity that comes my way. When the little scaredy-cat voice inside my head says "you shouldnt do this" I shut it off, and just give er'.

Now, at times this can be really scary, but I can honestly admit, that in all cases that I have said Yes since this revelation, I am finding pleasure in things that I never particularly thought possible.  Up until these past....6-7 months, I was that person.  I was the Yes Woman who took charge, who was not afraid, who took every challenge that came her way... but then as things slightly changed, I guess I became more fearful, and less confident.  Maybe it had something to do with the fact that even if I had of failed before.. there was always someone who I thought would love me unconditionally... so the fear of failure wasn't as scary.  Now, it in the single realm of the world, I guess it just took me a little longer to realize that at the end of the day.. despite the potential failures, I have to just love myself. 

To give you a little idea of the little things that scare me.. here goes.  Don't Judge

1. Driving in chaos.  (Faced that fear and drove to Toronto TWICE) I survived. YES!

2. Letting someone at the gym guide me through a work out (Not sure why it scares me. But saying YES was an awesome, awesome decision)

3. Saying yes to Frozen Yogurt almost every day for 5 days (that scares me.. mainly due to the fat-factor... *sigh*)
4. Spontaneously buying myself something nice. (This often instills some fearful feelings inside of me.... mainly because there are other things that I Could spend my money on) But I said yes, and I love my new slacks! Yes!

Now, you should do the same.  What is the worst thing that could happen?

Really, really, think about the worst possible scenario.  Now think of that, and realize that even if a certain scenario is an Epic Failure, you've have gained an experience, and chances are it will be something for you to laugh about in hindsight.

Yes is the best.
