You never know what will eventuate from having an open mind.

A great film by Jim Carrey called ‘The Yes Man’
Which is creating the openness to new situation and not saying no to anything.

In the movie Jim changes his attitude by saying Yes to everything irrespective of the appropriateness of the request by someone, for example ‘ can I have $10?’ and you will give them $10.
The idea initially was to allow yourself to become open to new experience and that the sequence of events ultimately leads to a major event and that major event sets off another set of sequences. So it is all about changing your belief system, ultimately you have to make appropriate changes or appropriate decisions about what you say yes to. Obviously it can be maybe irresponsible to always say yes to something but after 2 weeks Jim was able to identify in the movie which roles were appropriate & which weren’t.

By allowing himself to be open to new possibilities created new opportunities in his life and a lot more positive outcomes occurred. Ultimately its about changing our thought process and how we see the world and being open to these new opportunities by following a set type of behaviour we have set outcomes so doing something crazy every now and again and saying yes to something you usually would say no to can open up those new possibilities. Whether it may be someone asking you to help them move house or something where you may ordinarily not do it for whatever reason in which case there is nothing bad in helping someone move house for example, provide your obviously not putting yourself in a dangerous situation lifting heaving objects, who knows where that could lead to, what opportunities are uncovered. Everyday we’re open to these great opportunities, how often have you said no to something which isn’t equivalent of person asking for $10 out of the blue but it might be someone asking for some help.

Maybe someone in the office, maybe someone in the street, how often have you turned a blind eye to something yet there is all these infinite possibilities that lay ahead. So once again its all about that positiveness, putting it out into the universe.

So never have a closed mind and be open to new opportunities
