Have the Courage To Try

All you have to do is say “YES”!

I’ve been pondering an article like this for a while now. I had the idea, I just hadn’t put all of the pieces of it together yet.

Today as I was chatting to a fellow traveler from South Africa, I realized a missing piece.

I was recounting to him how we became mural painters. Some of you may remember my story from a while back where I talk about fleeing the civil war in Nicaragua, then finding our passion in Costa Rica.

But I realize, in that story, that I left some parts out. Or at least the focus of the story wasn’t around this topic.

Also today, I was reading a post by Matt Patton named “How Saying “YES” Can Change Your Life.” It was then that I put all the pieces together to write this article.

It’s interesting how pieces to form an idea come about sometimes. It’s like the universe just drops little hints and clues on our paths, and it is up to us to put them together and make something of them.
