The Practice of Saying Yes to Life (Why you should try it!)

Most of us spend our lives trying to plan, predict, and control everything around us. We want to know what’s coming, how things will unfold, and how to avoid getting it wrong. But what if life works better when we stop trying so hard and simply say yes to what shows up?

Alan and Bilos explore the quiet power of letting go — the shift from forcing life to allowing it. They talk about the difference between resistance and surrender, how our need to “know” creates unnecessary suffering, and why peace arrives the moment we stop fighting what is.

Through simple stories, everyday examples, and a walk across the golf course, the episode reveals a practical truth:

when you stop trying to control life, you start to see it more clearly.

This is a gentle, grounded introduction to the practice of saying yes — even when you don’t know what’s coming next.

In this episode:

• Why we resist the unknown

• The difference between acceptance and passivity

• How surrender brings clarity, not chaos

• What “letting life lead” actually looks like

• Why you don’t need to know to move forward

• How small daily moments become spiritual practice

If you’ve felt stuck, overthinking, or trying too hard to make life work, this conversation might give you the space to breathe again.
