It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.

Say yes

by Ralph Marston

Say yes to the possibilities. Say yes to the challenges.

When it makes sense, when it enables you to bring more value to life, say yes. When it aligns with what’s important to you, say yes.

Say yes to the reality of what is, to the lessons and legacies of what has been. Though the world is not perfect, say yes to the positive opportunities it presents.

Certainly there are many situations in which saying yes is not the appropriate response. But don’t let that fact dissuade you from ever responding in the affirmative.

Plenty of goodness has come into your life because you were able to say yes at the right moments. Those moments continue to arrive, so be ready to make the most of them.

Go to the trouble, make the commitment, because your life and all of existence are worth it. Look for the best times to do so, and say yes.
