Most people don’t have a problem asking for what they need. You can justify a need. It’s a scary thing to ask for what you want.

You expose your vulnerabilities. You open yourself up to the possibility of NO as an answer. You might find your desires being scrutinized, questioned, or ridiculed.

And yet, if you don’t ask, you may never know that there is someone who thinks that what you want is a great idea, and that they can assist you on your journey to get it.

If you don’t ask for what you want, you may never find out that there is a whole community of folks out there who want the similar things, and working together, you guys have a much better chance of achieving your goals.

If you don’t ask for what you want you miss out on the opportunity to define your life.

If you don’t ask for what you want you might not get the chance to take your life in a new direction.

If you don’t ask for what you want you delay becoming your truest self.

Today, I’m taking the risk of asking the Universe for what I want.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
