You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world.

42 Days Of Yes!
Day 23: Ignite A Big Spark!
I’m not sure if it was the fresh air, the excessive coffee, the gorgeous summer day, or something completely unrelated, but today was a YES after YES after YES kind of day!
After saying YES to moving my office outside (not a difficult YES!), I focused most of the morning on Spark – our 2nd annual event coming up in October. An event of this type is a huge undertaking, and much of the groundwork has been completed for months.
But today needed to be a decision-making kind of day. With suggestions, enthusiasm, and support from an outstanding team, I said YES to:
- Securing a larger space!
- Flying in an amazing musician!
- Inviting a few special, incredibly courageous guests!
- Confirming the professional photographer and other team members!
- Adding even more surprises to the decor, atmosphere, and participant experience!
In essence, even though Spark 2013 was absolutely incredible, I said YES to up-leveling the experience for those who attend in some pretty significant, meaningful ways. And as you can probably tell by my excessive use of exclamation points in this post, I am quite excited about it!
These kinds of YESes require me to continuously clarify my vision and then choose in its favor. Some of these decisions are hefty – but easier to make with that clear vision and purpose. I am thankful for today’s YES experience because in up-leveling the Spark event, I have up-leveled my vision as well!
