The Power Of Yes.

[gobzmacked]

It's good that you are being positive but i think the world population you say NO more often. Say NO to Hypocrisy; Hate, Fear, War, Chaos, Corruption and Poverty. Say no to the Psychopaths who control this world!

[andymooseman]

I totally agree that we do need to say "No" sometimes as well & those examples you gave are as good a reason to say "No" as i can think of.

[Maiyanna]

That's a really good point. Now that I think about it, saying yes when I would have rather have said no, has usually ended up being a positive experience. ;)

[andymooseman]

That's good to hear. Keep on saying Yes :)

[phekwig]

I said yes just a few times too many when I should have said no, but I was being overly optimistic...

[andymooseman]

We all make mistakes sometimes & i'm sure they are occasions when i should have said no as well.

But the times i've said yes & made the right decision outnumber them :)

Hey Andy, I live in Hastings, just found your page and like your videos, I appreciate the fact that you hardly cut/edit your footage with a 'take 1' approach. Keep up the good work!

[andymooseman]

Hi Alastair. it's good to see somebody else from Hastings on here. I often think i'm the only one.

Thanks for the nice coment.

I've just been watching some of your videos. Good stuff.

I like the imagination in them :)

[alastairdevaux]

Thanks Andy!

[OhCurt]

I remember this. Nice to see it on your channel now.

:-)

[andymooseman]

Thanks. I remember you commenting on it over there.

I'd forgotten all about it until i saw Mic (PaintedRavensong's) video the other day.

I think positivity mirrors itself back to you and the reverse does the same.

My glass is always full!

[andymooseman]

I think you're right there. Positivity breeds positivity.

My glass tends to be half full as well. it's the best way to be imho :)

[BassinJason702]

You're completely right about this.

[andymooseman]

I'm glad you agree :)

[PappyStu]

ba humbug say all us pessimists...... or is that pissymists?

Great to see ya doing the 5 optos...

I probably shouldn't have said yes a few times in the past he he he

[andymooseman]

I'm sure we'd all go back & change at least a few of our past decisions if we could. The art is keeping that number to a minimum :)

[PappyStu]

Yea I bet Tigger is there now... he he

[andymooseman]

LOL Yes, i bet he is :)

[RustleAbout]

We always have the choice to be positive or to be negative. Excellent video Andy!

[andymooseman]

Thanks Russ. It's not always an easy choice though :)

[twish1999]

Saying no can be hard sometimes too

:-)

[andymooseman]

I agree. I've been there a few times :)

[samsarajade]

I have always, no matter the consequences, and no matter how stupid my decision with hindsight, believed that I said 'yes' or 'no' because they were the only answers that me, myself, could possibly answer at the time. For whatever reason. So no matter where those decisions led me, I accepted the consequences with little regret. And in a world without psychos and nutters, I'd have been safe!!!

[andymooseman]

A case of "you've made your bed, you've got to lie in it"?

I know what you mean. If a decision has been made, it's not often that we have a chance to change it.

if that happens, we just have to make the best of it :)

[Ranblv]

I know a few women I would like you to teach this lesson to :-)

[andymooseman]

LOL ;)

[GreatGig1]

There is an art to knowing when to say yes and when to say no. :-)

[andymooseman]

Agreed & it's an art we don't always get right :)

[debstef]

As my father said to me as a young and impressionable child: "If you are going to reach for the stars, reach for the lowest one you can." I've tried to live by those words. And failed

[andymooseman]

That reminds me of that Oscar Wilde quote "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" :)

[debstef]

Huh! I thought Crissy Hind of The Pretenders wrote that!

[andymooseman]

'Fraid not. the quote is way older than that.

[BradThunder]

Believe it or not, but the author, Danny Wallace is from my hometown of Dundee!

[andymooseman]

Good to see you Gary.

i've read a couple of his books & enjoyed them both. I follow him on Twitter too :)

[popebenadict16]

i just watched a video by one of them, diannehanks.she seems to me either extremely naive at best and at worse,borderline insane.

[andymooseman]

I can't pretend to like every video on that channel. But, the idea is certainly a very good one imho :)

[NiteBlogger]

hmmm...might be on to something there.

Used to be a YES woman, when I was young adult - ended up with no time for me or to be me...(had to learn how to say NO)

perhaps now, I've gone overboard with the NO...

Something to think about. ;)

[andymooseman]

I guess the answer is to try & get the proper balance between the "Yes" & "No" answers.

if in any doubt though, go for the "Yes" :)
