Saying Yes to Change

Warming UpI always enjoy reading the posts of Chris Guillebeau at his site, The Art of Non-Conformity.

His post today references the movie, Yes Man, to illustrate how developing the mind-set to accept opportunities (rather than expend energy to deny them) can bring a fresh perspective on the meaning of your life.

It made think of this lesson that I try to pass on to my clients; It’s easier to make a small adjustment to your routine that can result in a small success and then repeat that method over and over until you’ve accumulated enough to add up to an impressive change. But first you have to be willing to believe that small efforts are worth saying “yes” to and agree that you’re surrounded by opportunities to begin. Now!

Or at least, that’s how I interpreted it. Read it for yourself here.

And thanks to my friend Brian who first turned me on to Chris’ writing!
