I read somewhere that by the age of 5 children will have heard discouragement in the form of words like “no”, “don’t” or “stop” something like 5,000 times more than positive words like “yes.”
We can speculate on how this might affect kids, but the movie Yes Man, starring Jim Carey, offers some insight. The movie tells the story of a sad and lonely man who decides to say yes in response to every question he is asked. His life immediately begins to attract abundance and happiness. This may be a fairytale, but have you ever noticed how often you say yes or no?
Try saying “yes” for a day. I dare you.
