Say Yes to Life, Say Yes to Your Life! Posted Jan 12, 2009 09:25 AM
By the time you reach the age of 18, you've heard the word 'no' 200,000 times! No wonder that by the time we're an adult, we're conditioned to say no without any real thought to whether we just might want to say yes. An inspiring film, "Yes Man", stars Jim Carrey as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere because he habitually says no to Everything. It's like a reflex for him; it comes out before he even really knows what he's saying no to. That all changes when 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 promoted at work, opening the door to a new romance, leaning how to play the guitar, learning to fly and even saving someone's life. A lot of other crazy things happen to Carl until he realizes he doesn't have to say yes to every single thing. That would make a person insane and he gets close to that. He realizes that the real covenant is to say YES to Everything and Anything His Heart says Yes to. He learns to listen to his heart. By opening his mind to the possibilities, by saying yes instead of no, his life opened up to him. His life completely changed! Before he said no to life; therefore, he wasn't living. By saying yes to life... he saved his life. Suddenly he had a Life Full of Meaning, Love, Adventure, Opportunity and Fulfillment. He learned to live his life Fully Alive! Has saying no become a habit for you? What is Your Heart Gently Urging YOU to Say Yes To? LISTEN! Here's a simple exercise to assist you in Opening Your Mind to ALL Possibilities so Your LIFE will Open Wide for You: Every time an opportunity presents itself, immediately say Yes (in your mind). Then, pay attention to how that feels. When your heart resonates with the YES, move forward and take action. If it doesn't then you know that wasn't for you. Either way you're programming your mind to say yes to life, to say Yes to Your Life! Amy Huentelman Live Your Life Alive Love&Freedom+Expression=LivingAlive

Great mind setting. $;\$

Amy,

What a great way to train your mind and heart! Look for the positive, the yes, first and then test it out with your heart. What an amazing difference it makes in our lives when we learn to say YES!

Thank You for that reminder!

Hi Amy, love the exersize.How many times I might have missed out on a great opportunity,because my first instinct was to say no. I was afraid that I needed to make a commitment on the spot.This is really awesome:say yes rightaway in your mind and then pay attention to how it feels and if it feels right you make the commitment,but if it doesn't feel right,nothing lost,but you gave yourself a chance.
Thanks Amy.

Hi Amy,

If I didn't already have somewhere I had to be right now, I'd drive straight to the theater. I wish I was with you at the movies....especially to see this with you, my friend.

I will carry the encouragement to say yes to what MY HEART is calling me to do. Trusting myself always comes up for me. I believe the more I trust and "say yes" the more inspiration I receive. The more inspiration I receive, the more effortless trusting myself becomes.

I have a song that is going to be on my 1st CD entitled "I say Yes" I look forward to your hearing it.

Love,

Debra

Hi Amy,
Habits may be difficult to break like saying "no" without even realizing what we are saying. You are so right in bringing attention to listen to what our heart is saying. This is where we can find the correct answer that is right for ourselves.

Hello dear Amy,

It sounds like our friend Carl went from a lack mentality to developing a prosperous mindset...

I appreciate your food for thought and look forward to reading more from you.

Your friend along the way,

Lynette Chartier :-D
