Yes Man: Another movie that can change our life if we choose right reaction

(4) Yes Man

The movie tells the story of a man who usually says "No" to everything and lives a miserable, ordinary and boring life. Then due to a seminar he visits he makes a sudden and dramatic change by saying "Yes" to literally every request he is confronted with in his life. As he makes this change his life changes dramatically to the positive – though of course he makes a lot of mistakes on his way and learns from them.

After seeing the movie everyone makes an inevitable choice between two options:

(a) Passive option: Treat this movie as just another nice and entertaining movie. Make no link between the movie and own life. Continue life exactly as before seeing the movie and remain within the boundaries of old habits.

(b) Active option: Ask yourself "What can I learn from this? How can I integrate this learning into my life?", write some quotes of the movie on post-its and stick them to the wall at home or at work saying e.g. "Every day is full of amazing growth opportunities – Yes Man"

This is another great example that our life is full of choices. Every day we are surrounded by so many amazing opportunities to learn, grow and make steps toward the life that we really want to live. Every small sub-step on the journey is important! There is nothing to wait for and nobody to blame! Do something small every single day to come closer to your dreams! It's so worth it!

I'd like to conclude today's post with a quote by Brad De Haven who wrote the awesome book The Currency Of The Future: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather sliding in sideways, thoroughly worn out and proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride". Think about what you personally can learn from this quote for your own life!

P.S. A very good and more detailed view on the movie has been published by Chris Guillebeau.
