and I know that you have issues because of it

but this isn't about you.

It's about me.

When was the last time you did anything fun?

You're always makinmg excuses.

'I don't want to commit.'

'I don't want to be tied down.'

Do you even know my fiance's last name?

Yeah, Fisher.

Fishman.

Wait ... Fish Wall?

- Fish Wall?

You think her name is Lucy Fish Wall?

- No, that's wrong.

It's Burns.

It's Lucy Burns, Carl.

And guess what?

She doesn't like my best friend.

And I keep trying to think of reasons

why she should, but you know what?

I can't think of any.

I don't want to hear another excuse, Carl.

Do what you want,

I'm just telling you, that if you don't change

your life, you're going to end up a lonely guy.

A lonely guy, Carl.

Hey, Carl.

Hey, Rooney. Come here for a second.

Carl look a little odd to you?

Is it me, or does it look like he's kind of dead?

Nope, no more than usual.

I do not know. I'm leaning towards

thinking he might actually be dead dead.

I guess I never saw him a lot

so it's hard for me to tell the difference.

Yeah, that's true.

He never did much.

He wasn't a good friend.

Wasn't a good anything.

Any more beers in the fridge?

Sorry, this was the last one.

That's pathetic.

What was that?

As we begin.

Find a seat.

Carl. Hey Carl.

Carl, man, hey!

Hey Nick.

You made it man.

I knew you'd come. I saw it

in your eyes, man. You're gonna love this.

Terrence is genius. He's going to

blow your mind all over the Goddamn room.

He's like a frickin mind grenade.

- I'm not sure I want that.

Yeah, but you need it.

That's why you're here.

You have got to start saying 'yes',

my man. And I mean to everything.

Shh, it's starting.

Life. We are all living it. .

Or are we?

- Eww, heavy

Change is generated from consciousness

but where is consciousness generated from?

From the external .

And how do we control the external?

With one word. And what is that word?

Yes!

The word is' yes'.

Yes, yes, yes.

Say it a million times.

Say it a million more times. And the

word you will have said two million times is ...

Yes!

I want you to invite 'Yes' into your life,

Because it will rsvp 'Yes'.

When you say 'Yes' to things,

you embrace the possible.

You've gobbled up all of life's energies

and you excrete the waste.

Before we begin today, I'd

like to welcome our new members.

Who among you is new?

He is! This guy right here!. He's new.

Over here.

Come on up,

future 'Yes' man.

That's okay, I'm just auditing.

You can't audit life my friend.

Now, get on up here.

- No, thanks. I'm cool.

I'm sorry? What was that you said?

Um, I said I'm cool.

Before that?

Thank you.
