Yes is the New NO

One of our favorite actors is Jim Carrey and we just saw a preview of his new movie. The movie called "Yes Man" - check out the trailer at Yes is the "New" No

It is about a guy that says NO all the time. Now, he has made a life change which to say "yes" to everything. Not exactly how "go for no" works since we suggest that you need to hear "no" more often in order to hear "yes." But the two ideas are interesting when played off each other.

In this case, rather than being the ask-er, Jim is the askee and says "NO" to everything. So all of our "go for no" devotees would gather a lot of No's from his character! That is of course until he starts experiencing life by saying "yes!" This is a wildly cool premise, we wish we'd thought of it. Jim, if you're out there, have us to the premier!

Fear and Change

It's kind of interesting all this stuff in the media and around the election campaigns on "change." In general, it seems most people don't actually like change. Change, for most people is fearful. Right now, lots of people are nervous about the economy, the election, etc. There's a lot of fear and uncertainty. And then you layer in all the talk about change.

Change can be a funny thing though when you consider this great quote from John A Simone Sr: "If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change."

So, relax - cause wherever you are now - it'll probably change.
