Ask and You Will Receive!
Have you ever wanted something you’ve been afraid to ask for? We’ve all been there. In not asking, we are likely to build stories in our head about what will happen, won’t happen, might happen, should or could happen if we don’t get what we want, and why we don’t deserve it anyway! I was having this discussion with my older sister not long ago, and in those ways that only big sisters can be wiser than kid sisters at times (because they look out for us no matter what), she reminded me how important it was to ask for what I wanted, not speculate.
Recently, I’ve really needed some help big-time with a business challenge. I’m not one to readily ask for assistance with my business, because sometimes I don’t know exactly what I need (I’m carving a whole new life for myself in unknown territory). However, in speaking with my sister it was as though a veil lifted. I saw instantly what I needed next and decided right there and then, no matter what, from now on I will always ask directly for what I need from anyone I deal with in any capacity in the business world. What a freeing moment that was!
As I already ask for what I need and want in my personal life, it has not been difficult for me to shift my thinking. What’s different is the way I am now seeing myself as a professional (for anyone out there building a business you know what I mean). It’s not easy starting over professionally and it’s especially difficult after experiencing great difficulty. As a result, I allow myself my vulnerabilities, because I grow from them. It takes courage to ask for what you want when you feel fear and uncertainty. However, I have made this leap and as a result, I’m getting more help than I thought possible. There were no dragons in the closet! The help was always there; I only needed to ask!
In your own life, recognize that you grow from your vulnerabilities the moment you recognize them, no matter what difficulties you are overcoming. In general, our vulnerabilities and the help we need may be different, but help is always available somewhere and from someone. It is important you find the courage to ask for what you need, whether this is in your professional or personal life. Ask the angels to direct you to the people and opportunities that will bring you what you need and want. If someone turns you down or what you thought should happen isn’t, trust there’s a better plan you may not be aware of yet. That’ how the universe works – it delivers for our best and highest good.
3 tips to get you started asking directly for assistance:
1.Know what you need.
2.State this need clearly when asking for help.
3.Be willing to negotiate. If you don’t get a firm answer to your request, ask what you can do to help get your need met.
