Welcome To YES

True story...

 

It was a relatively small audience. It was summer. Beautiful day that, oddly enough, I had hoped that the weather would not be so enticing because, for the audience that was not there, it was time to take the day to a beach.

​

Hence the audience but many nice people came. It was a Saturday afternoon.

​

And, I started to ask questions that had been on my mind for some time - decades in fact. That day started a journey that has continued ever since:

​

"Raise your hand if you want the person in your life to be truthful."

​

All raised their hand.

​

"Raise your hand if you want the person in your life to be a place of peace."

​

All raised their hands.

​

"Raise your hand if you want the person in your life to be an ultimate source of trust for you and you to them."

​

All raised their hands.

​

"Raise your hand if you want the person in your life to be caring."

​

All raised their hands.

​

"Raise your hand if you want the person in your life that loves to contribute because that is who they are."

​

All raised their hands.

​

And I kept going for ten minutes. Everyone had raised their hands to the questions asked and I told them, "I could do this for the next hour and every question I ask will...." And, I looked around the auditorium and faded off...

​

"Look around you. The entire room. Men, women. All races. Children. Every hand to the sky."

 

"Everyone wants the same thing."

​

"Now go and insist that the definitive for your life not be a set of goals.

Go be that person that you just said yes too."

 

"Every..."

 

"Day..."

 

"To everyone..."

​

 

That is where this started.
