Know your Yes

About this video

Shelton teaches viewers to identify their ‘yes’ in life—a powerful personal purpose or goal that serves as their driving force. He argues that knowing and focusing on your ‘yes’ provides accountability, keeps you moving forward despite obstacles, and helps you ignore negative opinions. Shelton emphasizes that a strong ‘yes’ should require sacrifice, push you outside your comfort zone, and be powerful enough to make others misunderstand your choices.

Key takeaways

• Shelton urges viewers to identify their ‘yes’—their core purpose or destination—and remind themselves of it daily to maintain focus and progress
• According to Shelton, a powerful ‘yes’ keeps you focused on proving yourself right rather than proving others wrong, and makes you prioritize activities and people that move you forward
• Shelton claims that if your ‘yes’ allows you to stay comfortable, requires no sacrifices, or has an expiration date, it isn’t strong enough to drive real change
