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?’

Do Not Just Focus On Yourself

Yes, do not just focus on yourself. The world is bigger than you. If you do not want to disappoint people who are counting on you, if you don’t want to fail yourself, you must break out of your comfort zone.

Get out of your familiar zone. Look out for other people. People need help. Yes, you can’t help everybody, but you can help somebody.

Whatever it is you can do to help yourself, to make the world a better place, do not delay. The world is waiting for you. People are waiting for you to act. People are counting on you. People are rooting for you.

Yes, it is not going to be easy, but you can do it. Make yourself uncomfortable. Do not focus on people you like. Because the world is bigger than those you like. The world is bigger than you. Remember, helping other people is helping yourself. Why not give it a try?
