Just Say YES

If I had only one helpful phrase I could impart to you it would be to just say YES to whatever you are feeling, whatever circumstance you may find yourself in. If you can find the true and sincere YES in yourself you can be free right now. It is the incessant NO of the mind that is the problem, not what we are feeling, not what circumstances we may be in. The everyday programmed mind that most of us walk around with can only say NO to everything, nothing is ever good enough as it is right now, at least not for very long. And as long as we allow our minds/thoughts to drive the bus we will forever be on the treadmill trying to satisfy the latest craving or to push away the latest annoyance or whatever it is that’s NOT OK this time. See for yourself if this is true in your experience.
This is actually good news, because it means, at least to me, that we actually don’t need things to be different from how they are right now to be happy. The happiness that is caused by something is not the real happiness. If your happiness is “because this is like this” or “that isn’t like that” then enjoy it while you can, because it can’t last very long. If you can say YES to this moment exactly as it is then you might find yourself being happy and content for no reason at all, and then my friend, you’ve got something you can take with you. This is the only thing worth working towards in my opinion.
There is a great CD with the song “Just Say Yes” on it that I love. I find it to be a great way to remind myself that I can be free right now if I can only say it and mean it. Check it out -
