If the answer is not "Hell, Yes!", the answer is "No."

This was on the daily readings that my mom bought me for Christmas. It was in yesterday's readings. The neat thing about it is that it prompted me to discuss my acting plans with Steven and what I am doing here in LA. I'm here to go all out. To just do the things that I like and want to do. All the choices that I make are going to reflect my joys. Hell yes! That's all I want to do.
Today I got a lesson in how hard it is to continually make a hell yes choice. Steven and I wanted to go to IMAX and watch 300. We were quite excited. Found out the showtimes, and like the trusting Nevadans we are, we went without prepurchasing our tickets. Get there and the gentleman at the parking counter tells us that the 7pm IMAX show is sold out. But we could see it at 8pm in the regular theater. "Ok, sure", was my response, Steven's was, "Naw, we're out of here." I, with just two words, "It's ok", got us to pay our $10 and go in. What shall we find? The 8pm show is now sold out as well. AHH! I have to be at work at 4am tomorrow and am not going to stick around for the 9pm show. What happens with our promised $10 rebate after buying a movie ticket? What shall we do? Grr.
We don't get our $10 back, but we do get a free pass for later. That's better than nothing. Steven and I were then able to have our "Hell, yes" conversation. We are going to help eachother. Kyle never gets talked into getting something he doesn't want. I can be talked into buying camel dung, I am sure of it. I'm all about saying yes. (I think it's all my improv training. You are supposed to agree to everything because it's more fun, i.e. more dramatic, as you can see how saying yes ends up creating drama in my life.)
So there you have it. I must take a step back and consciously think about the decisions I am making and if the answer isn't "Hell, yes", then the answer is "No!"
