Yes.


What is the worst that can happen if you say ‘Yes’?

Whatever it is, it cannot be worse than all the ‘what if’s. What if I had gone out with my friends? What if I had learnt to play an instrument? What if I had agreed to that proposal? What if?

 I just missed attending an amazing weekend with my family and relatives because I had hesitated in saying Yes. And I will regret it every time they talk about how much fun they had. So I spent the last half hour thinking about all the times I’d said yes and then regretted it. Surprisingly, nothing really stood out. And you know why that is? Because every time something didn’t work out I actually learnt from it.

And all the time’s I’d said No? Well, they all add up to life experiences that I have missed, and I will probably never know if my luck would’ve turned around if I’d been more positive about making certain decisions. Regret is a terrible, terrible burden. And if you occasionally suffer from depression like me, then it will make things a lot worse.

Once you do say yes to something you automatically start to feel more positive about things. Because by saying yes, you are opening yourself up to a world of possibilities.

So go ahead, and see the outcome yourself. Try new things.

Say Yes.
