YES is the new NO

I watched YES MAN the movie which stars Jim Carrey as Carl Allen. Carl is a guy whose life is going nowhere. His operative word is “no”—until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say yes to everything… and anything. Unleashing the power of “YES” begins to transform Carl’s life in amazing and unexpected ways, getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance.

This movie got me thinking in 2 aspects:
(i) You say NO to life and therefore you are not living. Everytime when opportunity presents itself, you would say - YES. How many times had I cho0se not to live?

(ii) Yes is a positive re-inforcement to the things in life. I remember the times when I would initiate that with my subordinates every morning. At the start of each day and the word of any positive news, I would motivate them with a shout of a 1, 2, 3, oohhhh YES!

YES was in my life. I just need to find it back.
