Say yes now

Day 245 / 365

I watched this YouTube video today, and it had a line that really resonated with me.

“Say yes now, figure it out later”

The girl in the video talks about how this was the mindset change that had a profound effect on how she lived her life in her 20s. And after watching this video I realised that I had a similar thought process in my early 20s as well. I called it hustle. In fact, my whole career is built on top of the risks that I took by just saying yes to things with no plan in mind.

I am a huge believer that you need to get out of your comfort zone if you want to grow. And doing that means taking risks. Rushing into the unknown.

I have a lot of insecurities. But one thing that I have always had is faith in myself that no matter what life throws at me, I will be able to deal with it. With time I might have lost my confidence, my positive outlook, or the mental and physical energy that I used to have when I was younger. But what has stayed the same is that faith. That spark, however small, is still there.

This video inspired me to start challenging myself again. I am going to start saying yes to more things going forward. And I am sure I will figure it out.
