'The Yes Theory' Encouraged Me To Live My Life To The Fullest, And It Could Do The Same For You

I recently stumbled across a YouTube channel that changed my life for the better. It seems silly to say that some dudes on social media could make you a better person, but watch even one of their videos and you'll see why they have people hooked.

'The Yes Theory' Encouraged Me To Live My Life To The Fullest, And It Could Do The Same For You
The Yes Theory

Last week, I saw a recommended video on my YouTube homepage called "We threw an INSANE PARTY for $0" and decided to click on it. The video was all about creating an awesome experience with complete strangers they meet on the street, for no money. Once I watched it, I clicked on their channel and started binge-watching all their videos.

All of the videos on this channel are about taking risks and making your life exciting. It's all about the experience of things and sometimes saying "yes" to a crazy idea will pay off in incredible ways.

The creators of this channel, Yes Theory are 4 best friends from all around the world, who aim to live their lives to the fullest and meet people wherever they go. In every video with "strangers," they announce that they don't consider anyone a stranger, there are just friends you haven't met yet.

In their YouTube bio, here's part of their mission statement: "Ammar, Thomas, Matt, and Derin met in Montreal, Canada in the summer of 2015 and bonded over their shared desire to live a life that challenged and excited them."

As I got deeper and deeper into their videos, they really showed me the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone. In a lot of their videos, they are talking to random passersby on the street and trying to get them to join their crazy adventures. Here are some of their adventures: 16 STRANGERS IN A MANSION OVERNIGHT!!, Surprising Strangers With a Flight Above The Oscars!!! and recently, WE HELICOPTER BUNGEE JUMPED WITH WILL SMITH (over Grand Canyon).

They live by the mantra "Seek Discomfort," and even have merch to reinforce this mindset. It's super cool to think about, and their idea of seeking discomfort and stepping outside of your box is something we should all strive to do.

So, if you're bored from studying or are looking for a new show to watch, I would totally check out the "Yes Theory" YouTube page. There's a ton of videos for you to binge-watch (like I did for a week straight) and they will inspire you to make your life more exciting and worthwhile.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
