Do You Ask?
When you have a need, do you ask?
When you need
help, do you ask?
When you are
doubtful, do you ask?
When you have a
question, do you ask?
Some
want to be independent and do it themselves.
Some are afraid of
being criticized or shamed.
Some don’t want to
feel weak or incapable.
Some don’t know what
or how to ask.
Some
don’t know who to ask for what the need.
Some don’t trust
anyone has what they want.
Some feel they don’t
deserve any help.
Some just don’t want
anyone to know.
“Ask and you will receive.” is a truism.
When we don’t ask
clearly and specifically, others will not know.
When we do ask, we
often immediately receive the answer or help needed.
It seems asking
opens us up to receive what we are requesting.
Staying
in the silent need creates an emptiness and feelings of anxiety.
Opening to ask for
what we want gives us a goal and gives others an opening to give.
When we seek and
search and stay open to receive, we are motivated to find.
We find what we seek
or are given what we ask for, it encourages more willingness to ask.
When
you ask to be helpful, someone will come with a need to be filled.
When you ask for
answers, there will be many who want to respond.
Whether you
ask to be left alone or hugged, there will be someone who is ready to respond.
We must learn to ask
ourselves and others for what we really want.
Yes,
people may not understand our request.
We may need to
express ourselves simply and clearly.
We may need to wait
for a response.
We may need to look
for another answer or responder.
The
key is to be honest, accurate and sincere in our asking.
When we support
ourselves with asking for what we really
want, it is likely we will know who to ask.
When we are really
requesting the underlying need or question, it is more likely we will receive
it.
We cannot expect
others to second guess or mind read our needs.
When
we hear “No” or “ I can’t”, we need to accept the response and ask again
someone else.
When we do not
receive what we are asking, we must learn to say ”Thank You” and accept it is
their best.
Dismissing,
criticizing or shaming another’ response will make it less likely to receive
what we want.
It is important to
trust both questioner and responder are doing their best at the time.
Be
patient with your requests.
Be appreciative of
all responses.
Be willing to ask
again more clearly.
Be happy with
yourself for asking for what you need and want.
Loving
us all for learning to ask and respond with kindness and gratitude.
