Daily Year of Yes – 127

Year of Yes – 127

I’ve always been a person who favors sadness. My baseline operating model is generally sad. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, it was really important to me that he never grow up to think that he was the cause of my sadness so I was determined to work on this.

I printed a huge sign to put above my bedroom door which said: “Give up that there’s something wrong.”

I would wake up every morning and see it. I’m a big fan of reminders. We are all works in progress and remembering the destination we strive for is helpful.

This was one of mine.

The boy is 16 now and I am still reminding myself to give up that there is something wrong. That everything is an opportunity or a possibility. And that perspective matters a lot.

And I get to choose the story I tell myself.

Yes to believing in the good. Yes to owning my own life. And yes to believing in the positive.
