The Power of Saying “Yes”!

“Why did I commit to this in the first place?” you ask yourself as you realize it’s time to get dressed and go to your friend’s event you had committed to. Perhaps you agreed because you appreciate them, or you thought it would be fun at the time. But now, you just don’t feel like going! 

“Maybe I won’t show up!” you tell yourself. “After all, I can just say I had a family emergency!” 

Looking back, many of the most exciting and life changing moments happened when I got past the temptation and just went! 

There are three things that happen when you decide to stick to your commitment:

1. You may end up having a good time! 

2. If you decide to go, you’ll make new friends that you would not have made had you not gone. 

3. You have a plain good time that is different from the time you would be having from just watching TV at home. 

Sometimes you find something you weren’t looking for. A lot of success stories begin with the sentence, “I was in the right place at the right time!” Whether it’s because you meet someone that has had the same dream and vision, or you learn about a new skill that you did not realize you had. Sometimes, we just need to go to experience something new. Unless you found a magical wardrobe with a gateway to another dimension in your house, no exciting story ever started with “I stayed at home all day!”
