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?’

Life is Far More Powerful When…

Life is beautiful. Life is a gift. It is a blessing.

But life is far more powerful than you, than me, than others.

Life is far more powerful when you are not in anything for yourself.

Life is far more powerful when you are not in it for yourself.

Life is far more powerful when you are in it for others.

Because life is not about what you can get from others. It is about what you can give to others.

Instead of asking yourself, ‘What can I get from this situation, from this person, from this transaction, why not ask yourself, ‘What can I add to this situation, to this person, to this transaction?’
