What Are You Asking For?

‘Asking for something and then giving two seconds into an awkward silence doesn’t count.’- Lia Garvin

It takes courage and clarity to ask for something. It takes courage to really ask for something. If you don’t have the courage to face what you are asking for, it is impossible to go after it.

But do not let that stop you from asking for what you really want. If you think you can do something about it, then ask for it. If you think you are not there yet, then don’t waste your time.

Ask if you are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Ask if you are willing to do the work. Ask if you are asking for the right reason. Ask if you are not going to give up when the going gets really tough.

Whether the going gets tough or not, if you want to succeed in your life, you must ask. And you must be willing to do the work.

The question is, ‘What are you asking for?’

The Cost Of Being Right

‘… Even when you’re right announcing you’re right doesn’t make you more right.’- Lia Garvin

If you want to advance your life, do not fight to be right. Because people don’t like to around people who are always right.

Do not fight to be right. Fight to be valuable. Fight to be great at what you are doing. Fight to be yourself, not to be right.

When you are dealing with other people, do not fight to be right. Instead of trying to be right, look for ways to add value to them.

Being right is not going to get you far in your life. It is going to hold you back from reaching your destination. Because no one wants to be around people who are always right.

If you want to grow your life, focus on getting better, not on being right.
