21 分钟So one of the conversations that I've heard kind of bouncing around with a fair number of people probably for the last few years, is getting on the yes train is a year of yes saying yes to everything.
I kind of feel like that might actually be the absolute wrong call.
And I'm going to share why in today's good Life project update.
Along with that, with our science update, our good life science update, some really interesting additional evidence piling on about why it may make a lot more sense to have a real breakfast.
So I want to talk to you about what yes does to you and what no does to you and to me.
I'm not outside of this conversation, but I need to just share a word or two about something else before I do that.
As I sit here and record this, it is the middle of the week after a Sunday of the largest mass shooting in the history of the United States in Las Vegas.
And in a few hours, I'll be on a plane to Las Vegas to do some speaking and to share some space and some safety and some conversation around the idea of purpose.
And when I think about it, when I think about what, what's happened, when I think about the bigger sweep of humanity these days, my heart goes out to everybody.
My heart goes out to everybody who's been affected by this tragedy, as well as by the natural tragedies that have happened over the last few weeks.
And I feel like the world is a place that is in need of openness and oneness and love right now.
And that's my intention, that's my wish.
That is where I would love to see more of us coming from and where I will intend and commit to try and come from more as well.
And at the same time, I'm also a realist.
And I realize that love is not an alternative to, or a reason not to also take action, to be an activist, to go out in the world and rally for and stand for the changes that we need to make societally in our laws so that we can all come to a place where we all feel safe in the world that we live in and embraced and heard and seen and respected and treated with a dignity that is such an important.
Part of a life well lived.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
So what about our topic for today?
It's been kind of interesting.
I've had a lot of conversations with folks who have been really excited about the idea of saying yes to everything, kind of setting yourself up and saying, okay, so for the next 30 days or for the next month or for the next 30 days would be a month, wouldn't it?
