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?’

How To Do More When You Are Tired

We are human beings. If you are not taking care of yourself, that is not good for you. It is not good for your health. It is also not good for your work. Because you are not going to be able to continue without rest.

When you are tired, take a break. Accept where you are, what you are doing, and how you are feeling about it. But do not try to force yourself through it. It is going to get worse. Do not do that.

When you are tired, be real with yourself. Do not try to do too much. Do what is important, not what is urgent. If you have people who can help you, then reach out to them. Do not try to do everything.

When you are tired, do not do too much at a time. They call it ‘multitasking.’ If you try to do too much, you are not going to do well.

When you are tired, do not hide it from those around you. Tell people who are with you. Do not pretend that you are okay. If you do that, you are not helping your situation. It is better to share what you are going through with others than to carry it alone.

No matter where you are, you should always put yourself first. Take time out to be with yourself. Remember, nobody is bigger than life. If you are not able to do your work, life will continue. So take care of yourself.

According to Bob Goff, ‘Find a way to create a sanctuary in your daily life, because these safe places are within reach if we’ll stop long enough to see them.’

The question is, ‘Where is your favorite place to find rest?’
