Bordering on Magnificent ASKING (and asking)

Have you ever wanted or needed something and had to ASK for it? Sure! We all have! We need to ask someone because they are not mind readers. "Mom... can I have a cookie?" "Dad, would you give me a ride to the mall?" "Would you marry me?" "Can I have a raise?" "Teacher,... can I go to the washroom?"...Yep... we need to ASK for what we want. "That's Life"!

But there is something to be said for Asking, and not needing to beg.


Maybe it is a small request...
or maybe an ongoing part of your relationship...
maybe it is for someone to pick up their share of the load,
or for something that was promised... Whatever it may be...lets try asking ONCE...with confidence and directness and compelling clarity the first time, and then let the chips fall where they may.

This may involve setting up some boundaries with people...( family, loved ones, co workers, etc.) but let's try having some dignity and self respect here.

After being direct, If someone is taking an inordinately long time to come through on a request...
you are either not a priority,
or they do not want to come through
or are unable to do so.


If your partner,friend or family member "just doesn't get" the things that either delight or bother you...

or makes YOU feel as though you are needy or unreasonable for making a request, it may be time to move on...
at least emotionally
so that YOU are not wasting days
or years on someone
who you are not understood or valued by.

If someone has the desire to be in your life in a meaningful way, they would be noticing and listening and caring about what matters to you...not needing you to ask and ask and ask again for the basics.

That brings us to ATTENTION
You are interesting, valuable, fun, and unique!

Hang out with those who admire and respect you're differences and your dreams.
Doing this one thing WILL give YOU the ENERGY to FOCUS on the things you really WANT and NEED and DESIRE.


It will give you the time and ability to TAKE ACTION on YOUR OWN LIFE

and the AWARENESS of the things you may have been ASKED by others or promised that you meant to make a priority.

FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS... I am going to
ROCK THE SPACE I'M IN
by RESPONDING with Clarity
(and answers)
to those who have had to ASK me more than once to follow through on a request.


Love and Delight

CLARITY of Purpose

and Peace of Mind,
to you
and those you love,
JOY
