It’s easy to get so busy that we miss out on opportunities to meet new people, explore new places, and make new memories. And it’s not just because we’re too focused on our work—it’s because saying ‘no’ is so easy. If we’re not open to new experiences, growth and learning will never come our way. And even if they do, it will be on someone else’s terms—not ours!
Therefore, saying ‘yes’ is critical to our growth, happiness, and success. It can actually give us more freedom and flexibility than saying ‘no’ ever could. When we say ‘yes’ we are allowing ourselves room to grow and adapt. Not only that! We are also giving ourselves a chance to learn more about ourselves and what makes us happy, maybe even meet someone who inspires us in some way.
Yes Coach, Lisa Charles joins Daniel this week to give us a broader perspective on the power of a simple ‘YES’. Daniel and Lisa discuss how we can find our inner ‘YES’, claim it, and pursue it. They also talk about how our ‘yes’ can help us become fit inside out, how it leads us to a different way of living, and how it can help us have a positive approach to life despite adversities. In this episode, we also learn how to challenge our limitations, how taking a step back can push us forward, and how to respond to the question of self-awareness and recommitment. Tune in!
“It's not just being able to say ‘yes’. It's: can you say ‘yes’ in moments of consequence?” -Lisa Charles
