Embracing the Power of “Yes”: Navigating Life’s Surprises
A few years ago, I read Danny Wallace’s
Yes Man
, a book that explores the idea of saying “yes” to every opportunity that comes your way. The concept is intriguing: by embracing every invitation and request, you open yourself up to a world of new experiences and possibilities. While I’m not suggesting we should adopt this approach to the extreme, I do believe there’s value in occasionally letting the randomness of life guide us.
The Marathon Experience: A Journey of Growth and Resilience
In 2005, I completed the Dublin City Marathon—a challenge that remains one of the most profound experiences of my life. It wasn’t just a race; it was a journey that transformed me in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Reflecting on that marathon, I realize it taught me some of the most valuable life lessons I’ve ever learned. Today, I want to share how that experience shaped my perspective on goal-setting, discipline, and personal growth.
