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?’

Your Time Will Come

There is time for everything. Do not get frustrated. Pay attention to what you are doing. Keep doing what you are doing, no matter how hard. If you do not give up on yourself, if you do not give up on your dreams, your time will come.

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘A definite span of time has been appointed for all of nature’s happenings. Nothing can come into being or frutify before that appointed time.’

‘No matter what is going on in your life, if you do not say no to yourself, if you do not say no to your dreams, if you just keep doing, your time will come.

If you don’t listen to doubters, if you don’t listen to naysayers, if you ignore the noise, if you keep working, if you keep loving your work, your appointed time will come.

Do not give up. Do not say, ‘I can’t do this. This is too hard for me. It is not for me.’ Instead, focus all your energy, all your attention, and all your time on what is possible.

When you focus on what is possible, things become easier to deal with.

Before I leave you, when things are tough, remember why you are doing it.
