Are you a “yes” person? Some people have a hard time with saying “yes” to too many things (and, consequently, difficulty saying “no”) out of fear of not doing “the thing” perfectly.
I recently re-read Shauna Niequest’s book, “Present Over Perfect.” Here’s what she said:
“Saying yes means not hiding. It means being seen in all your imperfections and insecurities. Saying yes is doing scary things without a guarantee that they’ll go perfectly. Saying yes is telling the truth even when it’s weird or sad or impossibly messy. Saying yes is inviting chaos, and also possibility. Saying yes is building a new future, regardless of the past. Saying yes is jumping in anyway…” (p. 207).
What will you say YES to this weekend?
