Power of Yes

The power of saying yes can open doors to unexpected opportunities and personal growth. Christmas Abbott shares her experience of embracing the unknown, which led her to a groundbreaking career in NASCAR, despite initial doubts and fears 1. She emphasizes the importance of following one's instincts and being open to new experiences, even when they seem daunting 2.

I just have to, like, get out of my own head and get out of my own way and just know that something really beautiful and unique might happen.

She describes her years there as a "life university," where she learned to make better decisions and tap into her true potential 3. This experience instilled a sense of discipline that she carried into her life back in the United States, helping her avoid falling back into old habits 3.

It's such a good exercise to know that life is going to give you a curveball. You know, it's kind of like you still have to figure out how to keep going.
