SAY YES TO LIVING!

Say YES to LIVING! 
WHICH MEANS... 
STOP SAYING NO...
STOP PROCRASTINATING... 
STOP MAKING EXCUSES... 
STOP PROTECTING YOUR HEART...
STOP ALREADY!


I'm finding that in traveling many people are totally complacent with their life. They like how it is and when asked to go for a hike or a movie or anything out of their regular routine, they say No. 

I loved the movie YES, with Jim Carey. He had recently come out of a bad relationship breakup and was stuck, saying NO to everyone and everything. Nearly loosing his friends, he was challenged to attend a YES seminar. He had to say YES to everything he was asked. Eventually he learned to decide for himself was his answer going to be YES or was it going to be NO. 

As with many of us. He had gotten into the habit of saying NO to things out of his daily routine. I myself have experienced the amazing benefits by learning to say YES to life, even when I didn't understand how things could possibly work out! 

" Always say "yes" to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? What could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say "yes" to life - and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you." - Eckhart Tolle

Life is for living, not playing it safe, remaining in dead end situations because it's the path of least resistance.  Life is for experiencing, learning and enjoyment. When we can take time from our everyday routines and make time for laughter and joy in everyday situations, we can then live as Auntie Mamme advised:

Live, Live, Live....Life is a banquet and most poor souls are starving! 

PS. For those interested, I'm heading out On The Road Again...Oakland, CA, Grass Valley, CA, Peoria, Il, Oklahoma, Green Valley, AZ, Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA. Hope to see you out there!

Embrace Change: Adventure is out there!!!!
