I recently saw the movie “Yes Man” starring Jim Carey. I recommend it to everyone – that means YOU, too. =)
In the movie, the main character says “no” pretty often – and by doing this he misses out on a lot of life’s opportunities. He attends a seminar and decides to start saying “yes” to everything. This gets him into a lot of wild adventures and sometimes trouble, but he learns a lot about himself and enjoys life.
I don’t want to say yes to EVERYTHING, because that could really turn bad, but I would like to start daring to do things that are outside my comfort zone. I want to experience LIFE!

How I did it
How I did it: It was stated on a podcast I was listening to - and it made perfect sense, for me. Each person is here for a different reason, but the basics are the same for everyone: Love, Learn, Be Happy. =) Read how I did it…
How I did it: At first I thought that miracles were one in a million and that very few people got to witness them. But on New Years' Eve, I was surrounded by people I love and I realized that the things we take for granted are miracles in and of themselves!

Children - to take that … Read how I did it…
