Rhimes prefer to being behind the camera, why, because she\u2019s a liar and she enjoys every second of it. Shonda Rhimes admits to the thrill of making things up in the opening of her book, \u201cI\u2019m a liar. And I don\u2019t care who knows it. I make stuff up all the time.\u201d Now before you freak out about that statement and boycott her shows, she gets paid to make stuff up\u2026she writes for the shows that keeps her audience on the edge of their sofas every week. Now here\u2019s the real reason Shonda use to skip out on opportunities, because she\u2019s extremely shy! Rhimes explains in her book how much of an introvert she is, having panic attacks before television appearances, and saying \u2018no\u2019 to anything that involved her being the center of attention. Then on Thanksgiving Day 2013, Deloris, Shonda\u2019s sister mumbled six simple words \u201cyou never say yes to anything.\u201d Shonda, being the brilliant person that she is,\u00a0decided to challenge herself and for one year said YES to everything that scared her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYear of Yes,\u201d is a journey of how Shonda Rhimes transformed from saying \u201cNO\u201d to all things that scared her to saying \u201cYES\u201d to all things that scared her. That meant one day giving the commencement address to Dartmouth University in front of thousands upon thousands of people and even appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, something that the old Shonda wouldn\u2019t have done. I think this is a book that many people around the world could benefit from, because it challenges people to stop living life afraid of the unknown and to stop being comfortable in the place they are familiar with. As 2017, is slowly starting to come to a close this is the perfect time for those that want a change in their life to take on the \u201cYear of Yes\u201d challenge for 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew year, new me,\u201d will be the statement that will be circulating around social media on January 1, 2018, so why not really mean it this time by doing something you\u2019ve never done before? Do you feel like your life is a little stagnate, do you feel like you haven\u2019t accomplished anything, still feel like you are the same person you were a year ago? If you answered yes to any of these it\u2019s probably because you\u2019ve been living your life in your little bubble that most called \u201ca comfort zone.\u201d A person\u2019s comfort zone is a place that is familiar and nothing bad can come from it if a mistake happens. However, guess what, nothing extraordinary can happen from it either. So, with that being said I\u2019m giving you a homework assignment, but don\u2019t worry it\u2019s not due until December 31, 2018.<\/p>\n
I want you to go out and buy a notebook, and throughout the year write down every scary opportunity that is offered to you. Of course, you said yes to it because you\u2019re participating in the \u201cYear of Yes\u201d challenge, right? Write down what was going through your mind when the opportunity presented itself and your experience after you completed it. At the end of the year reflect on what type of year 2018 was for you. I guaranteed it will be your most fulfilling year yet.
\nGood Luck!<\/p>\n
