Say "Yes" and then work out how...

In this day and age, we've become so accustomed to saying no, that maybe some of us have forgotten how to say yes. We constantly say "no"to ourselves and our desires because we get too caught up in the "what ifs". Well, chances are the "what if" will never happen.

I am going to challenge your thinking for a moment, what if you were to start saying "ÿes"and then working out how after? What possibilities would open up for you?

Did you set a New Year's Resolution or two at the start of 2012?  Are still focussing on achieving your resolution? Have you  decided that it's too hard, you're too busy, you don't have enough time, it costs too much and have already said no? Have you  had problems and drama creep into their lives? But what if they weren't problems? What if they were possibilities that were presenting themselves to you?

I am sure you are familiar with Walt Disney? This man was infamous for his creative flair and out-of-the-box thinking. He didn't let anyone stand in his way. He had his studios set out in a such a way so as each room had a specific purpose. First of all, there was the "Dream" room. This was a room filled with magnificent colour, an air of playfulness, infinite possibilities, a room where the dreaming took place, where ideas were thrown about and there was no such thing as a bad idea. In this room anything could happen

A bit further down was what was known as the "reality" room. This room was filled with storyboards and post-it notes where the ideas started to take shape. This was a room where you started backwards and then began to work forwards. You began with the end in mind. This room was all about "how will this come to life". There was no place for lack nor negativity, the main focus was that  - anything is possible.

Further away again, was a plainly coloured room containing only a desk and a chair. This was aptly named the sweat room.  This room was where the real work was done. It was designed so that one would get in there and get their work done as efficiently as possible, as this wasn't a comfortable space to be hanging out in.

So, I'd encourage you to take a few moments and let yourself into your "dream" room. Open yourself up and start to dream again. What could you if you knew no fear, lack or limitations? What would you choose if you began to see a plethora of opportunities laid out before you? Where is your dream room? It need not be a space in your house. You may find your dream room whilst you're out walking or on the beach or on a mountain top. Wherever it is, I strongly encourage you to take the time out to "Say Yes and then work out how".
