When was the last time you said yes to something that you were scared of but still enjoyed? In sixth form I said yes to meeting my friends outside of school this was the first and last time I had been invited to something but I enjoyed it. It was scary, but I liked talking to some people. I don't like large groups of people, I like talking to a few people. This is one of my happiest memories. Recently I have defaulted to saying no to things because it is easier it doesn't fit my plans but I think I need to start saying yes to things even if I think I won't enjoy them, who knows what might happen.
I cannot recall when I last said "Yes" to something that I was scared of, or thought I wouldn't enjoy. However, in my almost 49 years, it is something I have done on numerous occasions. Sometimes I have regretted saying "Yes", but sometimes it has paid off and I have been left feeling pleasantly surprised and happy.
