Back to our work culture mantras.
#2 - Yes, Whatever it takes.
I love a "Yes" mentality toward life. Yes, I'll help. Yes, that's possible. Yes, I can do that. Yes to cooperating.
A way back side note - one of my favorite groups as a teenager - Yes.
Yes is positive. It finds the bright side of things. The up side of things. The best part in people. The possibilities in life.
Faith, hope & love - all positive things.
No. But. Maybe. Even yes, but. These are all inferior ways to approach life.
Starting with a yes in your spirit gives you a head start on the field.
To some, this is only positive mental attitude. To which I reply "A positive mental attitude is better than a negative mental attitude any day of the week.
Say yes to God. To life. To the people you love. To life. To your dreams. To yourself.

Whatever it takes? :)
I like this concept of willingness to go forward, explore the options, and do something new.
Not to brag, but I will.. I have the most amazing volunteers that exist at our church. It blows me away how they consistently show up willing to do whatever needs to be done. I can't figure it out to be honest.
It is a pleasure to be around people who have a "yes" mentality.

i like the permissiveness of living in the positive.
yes we can do it (but it didn't work)
yes we can try again (still didn't work)
yes we will find something that will work.
it's indefatigable and infinitely triumphant to always go to yes.

Indefatigable!
Dude, if you pulled that off without spell check my already high estimation of you goes up another notch.
You know I have a spelling fetish.

this began to sink in back in the first days of the internship program. it was a bit excessive back then, but i think it was what i needed.
now i can see the big picture much better, and still appreciate all the details that are needed to make it amazing.
