Say Yes to Life!

A word that frightens me and limits ninety percent of our population is no. "No" sends chills up my spine when I hear somebody say it. And they say no to life and no to love and no to beauty and no to art and nature and God! And they just no, no, no their way through life!

It's terrifying because life is yes, and love is yes, and beauty is yes and joy is yes. And even pain is yes, not no to pain. The greatest lessons I've ever learned in my life I've leared through pain. Now, I'd prefer learning through joy, that would be the best way, but sometimes life isn't like that. There are no bad experiences. The only bad experiences are the ones we don't learn from.
