In a letter to a friend, Anais that she has always said "yes" to everything, which made her life complex. "But that is the only way we can live, having only one life."
She's given 58 lectures since the previous September, even though she's 70 years old and has cancer. She finished editing Volume Five of the Diary and is looking towards editing Volumes Six and Seven, knowing she doesn't have much time left.
Anais mentions "Xeroxing" Volume Five - my how things have changed over the last 40 years!
It's easy to say "yes" to the things we want to do, but what if we said "yes" even to things we weren't sure we wanted to do? It's a philosophy and guiding principle of life that may bring many opportunities your way. It's a way not to live a safe life. Saying "yes" may bring fear as you challenge your comfort zone, open your eyes to new possibilities, and free up the time you spend thinking about whether you should say yes or no. A casual yes may lead to something spectacular.
If by saying yes to everything you get overwhelmed, then say yes to help!
