Lesson from an Improvisational Actor:
According to actor/comedian Mike Meyers (Austin Powers, Wayne's World), the "secret" to being a great improvisational actor is to say "yes" to everything that comes at you. Don't resist anything, don't fight anything, don't struggle with anything. There is nothing you can do about what comes, except what you do with it once it comes to you. Do you say "yes" and harmonize with it, or do you say "no" and struggle with it? What good comes from that struggle? Could that energy have been more constructively spent? How will you answer the next thing life brings to you?
