Saying Yes is both an existential posture and a daily practice. It is a recognition that everything that exists has a reason for being.
Existential approach: Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist who survived concentration camps, explained that accepting suffering can be a key to finding meaning. Saying “yes” is not to deny the pain, but to transcend it by finding a lesson or an opportunity for growth.
Personal Transformations: Saying yes can also mean committing to trying new things, taking risks, and expanding your horizons. It pushes us to overcome our fears and our comfort zones.
Practical exercise: Every morning, try to internally say “yes” to everything that might happen during the day. This creates an openness and curiosity for what life has to offer.
