Yes will cost you what comfort can never give you, because comfort keeps you safe, while yes calls you into purpose. Yes will interrupt logic but activate legacy, stretching you beyond what makes sense into what makes destiny. Yes will break you before it builds you, dismantling pride, fear, and limitation so that something stronger can rise. Yes requires death to ego, and yes positions you for divine collision—where preparation meets promise, and your faith meets God’s greater plan.
