Our brains are great at hiding the fact we missed something remarkable.
By default, we don’t think about what would happen if we accepted someone’s invite or if we would have gone to work a different way or stayed out to lunch with a friend for 15 minutes more.
The only thing our brain does recognize is the value after we say yes, take a leap and counter our intuition to focus on and execute to the plan.
All that to say, there’s a lot that we miss and if you don’t feel like you are, well, that’s the auto-pilot speaking up.
Stay Positive & More Yes, Please
