Great advice about a positive life attitude! I remember watching that movie and thinking that it was kind of dumb but I love the idea of being open to opportunities.

I didn’t love the movie, but I LOVED the concept and I actually implemented it into my own life. I found that choosing to say ‘yes’ opened my world to a whole new set of experiences and friends. 😀 Best decision ever!

Yes Man is such a good movie. Never really related it to travel before though. Great post, it really inspires me to say YES more often 🙂

In reply to LozinTransit. @Lozin Transit: Didn't know it was a book or maybe I just overlooked that fact because it was a Jim Carrey film. Yes, our overthinking makes things more complex than they are. But glad to hear you hurdled some of it it to fulfill a grand goal. Congrats on your Euro Trip!

Overthinking is a problem that affects us all but I guess its proportionate to what we think we have to lose. Its worth noting that ‘Yes Man’ is based on a book by a British Humorist, Danny Wallace. Its a good read.
I had a YesMan year in 2010 which fed into my EuroTrip in 2011. Its a state of mind thats hard to contain. With experience you become more optimistic because you know you’ve had successes in the past but you still have to energise yourself for every new day. Not thinking is hard work. I wish I was better at it.

In reply to Katja. @Katja: ha ha... okay, racquetball didn't bode too well for me, so I'd be reluctant to go again. Might try and create a diversion to distract you from inviting me. ;-)
