Ask And You Shall Receive
I don't know about other people, but I found it uncomfortable in the past to ask for something I wanted. Whenever I was in a situation where I wanted something from a person, whether that was asking questions in a workshop or seminar, or just working towards a result, all my limiting beliefs used to have the power. As a result, I used to limit myself to what I thought I could have.
Having done personal development and self improvement trainings, I have come to recognize what were the barriers that I had created which prevented me from going for what I wanted. Now, I find it quite amusing that I used to behave that way because the power has certainly shifted from my limiting beliefs to the outcome that I want.
An example of this happened last week during a community meeting I had been invited to. The person who had invited me had a trendy shoulder bag that had the company logo on it which said 'Connect to the future'. I thought that it would be nice to have a bag like that because I'm all about empowering people to connect to the visions they would like to create, so I asked the person if she had a bag like that one that she could give me. She said she would look into it and I followed up by sending her a reminder email to look for a bag. She replied a couple of days later saying that a bag had been found and it was on the way to me. YES!! That was the end result I wanted and received what I had asked for.
A similar and really powerful experience happened in early 2006. I had received an email from an entertainment company with details of concerts and music shows. I remember saying out loud to myself, "One of my life goals is to see Snoop Dogg live in concert." I very well knew that Snoop had not been in Australia for almost 8 years and I had been resigned to thinking that I would have to go to the United States to see him live. But, within a couple of weeks, I got an email to say that Snoop Dogg would be touring Australia in April 2006. That was quite amazing and I do not have to say that I attended the concert and had a great time!
Therefore it is so important to ask for what you want. Without asking, you do not give yourself permission to have what you want. Ask and you shall receive is so true!
