If you are wondering why dealing with the answer YES would be an issue... you apparently have lived a very different life than I have. And good for you! :)
I, like a lot of people, can get in a place where we expect the answer to any question to be NO. Maybe we have been shell shocked by life, maybe we have had a run of bad luck...maybe someone in our lives somewhere at some time said expect life to be hard. When you go into any situation with that being your expectation...life does seem to meet you there.
So if we are now experiencing living the lives of our dreams we need to also shift our thinking and expectation around the answer YES. We should expect YES and be a bit surprised if it is a NO instead. And note I said a bit surprised at NO. I did not say knocked to the ground and all hope for the future is lost reaction! :) Okay... I was there last year but that's over now (see yesterday's post).
Expect YES. Here is my suggestion to improve work flow...your supervisor says YES. You ask a friend to pick up your child after school because something has come up you need to deal with. The answer is YES. You are late on your rent...explain the truth to your landlord and ask to pay late. The answer is YES. You ask for input for your business plan. The answer is YES. You decide it's time to clarify your relationship with the person who you want to take the next step and be your partner. The answer is YES.
Now that you hear the YES...what is next? Tomorrow I will tell you.
