Say Yes and Figure It Out Later!

Whenever you see an amazing opportunity for yourself, but you're not sure what it is, say yes, and figure it out later!

I took this photo of this artwork hanging on a wall in a commercial unit in Canary Wharf. I took it then, and figured it out later. 
"Say yes now and figure it out later!"

That quote should ring bells whenever one hears them. You're not alone in thinking this, if you do agree: generally, most people would love to act on this quote, but very few do.

Why not you ask? As human beings, since the beginning of time until our current year '2019', human beings have been creatures of anxiety, creatures of doubt, creatures living in fear. As such, when an amazing opportunity does get presented to them on a silver platter, they hide away and doubt whether they are able to follow through or perform with the tasks—the opportunity—and disregard the idea, never to be heard of again, and quickly go on about their day. People shut themselves out, shelve themselves, and deny the ability for growth and expansion; it's the objective reality. They shy away from their very own God-given potential, even though it's knocking on the front door, ringing the bell 20,000 times waiting to be acknowledged and used. This is due to a little known thing called 'conditioning'.

Don't talk to strangers. STRANGER = DANGER!

Raise your hands if you've heard this once or twice. What is the context of such a quote? As children, we love to explore, from the time we reach around the age of two, we want to touch, see, smell, eat, feel, hear everything. We want to be free. Free to be as creative as we'd like, free to use our potential. We are accepting of the world, and all its natural beauties. Years and experiences go by, and at some point we shut off, and build ourselves a tall castle in the sky, where it's impossible for anybody to get to us; we are distrusting and disapproving of anyone, to the point, we distrust ourselves. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN!

Humans lack self-belief, in a world where self-belief is not heavily reinforced day after day, instead fear is instilled and distributed globally, through the news, television, movies, articles, magazines, music, and now the latest weapon, social media. You see, I'll let you in on a well known, yet extremely, cleverly well-kept secret. Humans are creatures of habit. You didn't hear me you say? Let me say it again for those at the front and back. HUMANS ARE CREATURES OF HABIT. Was that loud and big enough to read for you? Great. The life you're living currently, whether you are, or are not satisfied with it, it's the result of the habits that you keep performing daily.

If you are told it is impossible to achieve something, for example, let's say, start a business, (note: everybody deep down wants to have their own business), yet you're constantly bombarded and reinforced with the idea that it is an extremely hard process, next to impossible, and a LONG process. Then when an opportunity, or a person comes to you with a way to do it, or you draw up some idea and attempt to pursue it, you'd be even MORE skeptical, right?

Let's just say for argument's sake, humans were to live like that, we would all be worse off! All the inventors, inventions, and important historical figures in the world would be unheard of.

  • Henry Ford/Karl Benz—Inventors of the first cars!
  • Thomas Edison—Discovered light bulbs!
  • Nikola Tesla—Electricity!
  • The Wright Brothers—Flew the first plane!

If these human beings, mind you, human beings just like you and I, breathe the same air, bleed the same, were to quit while they're ahead, let alone quit before they started, we would all be worse off, there would be no electricity, no phones, no internet, no cars, no planes, no inventions. You name it. Life as we know it would be something else.

Free yourself.

It's a great time to be free; 2020 is around the corner, exciting times are ahead. I don't know about yourself, but I know where I'm heading: I was shown an opportunity, an opportunity where I'll be making residual income month after month, year after year, an opportunity where I can work on my skills in direct selling, being a people's person, an opportunity to get involved in the field where independent business owners just like you and I are earning some people's yearly salaries in a week. Over and over again. I didn't understand one single thing about the business, believe me, but what I knew was, I've got to try it now, or carry on doing what I was doing before. Even though I was unhappy and as lost, I said yes to an opportunity now, right in that moment, and then figured it out later. They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting the same results. So why quit on yourself over and over again, why postpone your potential over and over again. Why ignore the red flags in your mind, telling you there must be another way out of the current life you're living.

Allow yourself to be shown the way, say yes now, and figure it out later!
