The great thing about Paris is that just when you have seen the most beautiful sight, had the most amazing experience, tasted the most delicious morsel, or sipped the most exquisite beverage, there is something even more magnificent around the corner. I think that this is true for life in general (it's your choice), but for me, Paris just heightens my awareness.

Possibilities

One word can change everything.

I have been referencing a Jim Carey movie a lot lately, Yes Man,. In this movie, Jim Carey's character, Carl Allen, is at a standstill. No future to look forward to... Until the day he adopts a very simple idea from a spiritual "guru": say yes to everything! Carl discovers with amazement the magical power of "Yes", and sees his professional and romantic life turned upside down overnight: an unexpected promotion and a new girlfriend.

But he'll soon discover that better can be good's enemy, and that all opportunities shouldn't be taken. He learns that you have to find a balance between the two, learning to embrace opportunities that are right for you and pass on those that aren’t. But the key is that opening your mind allows you to be open to the possibilities that exist around you so you can make those educated decisions, instead of leading a life that is boxed into the corner, with no hope of going anywhere.

My challenge for the week: say yes to three new things a day.
