Fuck Yes or Fuck No / Why Not
Which story are you running?
Framework 11 of 14 from Fix Your Thinking, Fix Your Life.Why this one
You've got some things in your life you never really chose, and some invitations you keep finding reasons to skip.
Those are two different questions, and most of us ask them backwards. A commitment, like a job or a partner or a city, needs a fuck yes. An adventure only needs a why not. Lukewarm on the big stuff and careful on the fun stuff is the wrong way around.
Commitments require fuck yes. Adventures only require why not. Know which question you're asking.
The whole story is chapter 11 of the book. The essay on this one isn't out yet.
