The Courage to Say Yes — 2 Comments

  1. That was such great advice from Dr. A. I’m afraid I’m still in the default mode of ‘No’ even at my age but I am getting better, honest.

    I don’t know if you’ve come across a British TV programme called The Great British Bake Off (The Great British Baking Show in the USA) but last year’s winner said something amazing in her interview after finding out she’d won.

    “I’m never gonna put boundaries on myself ever again. I’m never gonna say I can’t do it. I’m never gonna say ‘maybe’. I’m never gonna say, ‘I don’t think I can.’ I can and I will.”

    So, that’s stuck with me and when I start to doubt myself, I think of that young woman. She maybe only won a baking show on TV, but she pushed her own boundaries and so can we all.

  2. This is such a wonderful post. So often I doubt myself and pretend I have the confidence to do what I am asked to do. I think, maybe I should take the advice at least 5 people have given me and push the envelope and instead of being hesitant and hemming and hawing….just go ahead and do it.
