ASK to RECEIVE - BE PRO ACTIVE
How many times do we want something and never ASK for it ?
How many times do we want to have something badly enough and we are too scared to ASK for it?
The answer is rejection. Rejection is something not everyone is comfortable with. Rejection is what separates the strong from the weak. This can all change when you get the courage and take the first step forward. YOU CAN. YOU ARE. STRONG. So unleash the POWER inside you and CHANGE for the BETTER. YOU CAN DO IT.
The truth is, if we never ASK we will never receive.
Imagine you have been working at the same firm for a few years. You are comfortable with your job, yet you know you can do better and achieve more.
Why shouldn't you ASK your boss for a promotion, for a wage increase or even for a share in the company.
If you never ASK you will never know what you are missing out on. Your life could improve from ASKING.
After working for a couple of years in a senior role in Emirates, I wanted to get a better position. I was confident in myself, I knew I was capable of achieving this new role. I went to the management and ASKED for a promotion. They looked at my records and accepted my offer. The new Position would take six months to WORK on. Six months later I became a PURSER with Emirates, after only five years with the company. That felt good, I ASKED and I RECEIVED. I was PRO ACTIVE!
I too have had rejections. Everyone has had them. Of course if we always got what we asked for, life would be mundane, even too easy. The secret is not to give up on the first obstacle. Insist and Persist.
So this Week, ASK to RECEIVE, take the initiative. Try it, believe in yourself, believe you can make a difference. What would the worst case scenario be ? I’ll tell you, you will be in the same exact position, you found yourself in before you asked.
You can only GAIN by ASKING. This can work in all areas of your life. You could like someone and are too shy to ask them out on a date. Well, if you do not ask you will never know were you stand.
I am sure you saw the Film SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. The main character wanted to open a library in Jail. He had no funds. He decided to write a letter to the government for funds. Each week a letter would come back saying, no funds could be available for his project. He kept writing each week, then biweekly, until he got the funds he AKSED for.
The morale of the story is, PERSIST, INSIST and ASK and you will RECEIVE.
GIVE to RECEIVE
What legacy do you want to leave behind ?
How do you want to be remembered ?
In a material world it is not hard to get caught up in all the gizmos and gadgets. Sure we want everything and everything seems so pleasurable to have.
Do not get me wrong, you reap what you sow, if you work so hard, you should be rewarded, and rewards are GREAT. They tell us that we are achieving something, that we are doing something worth while.
The question is DO you GIVE to Receive ?
Some might say " If I was rich I would" or why don't the rich give, I cant afford it".
Well surely the rich can give bigger amounts. Yes they might have bigger resources. The answer is not in how much you have. Its how much you give. Mother Theresa had nothing, yet she gave more than she ever had back.
I know of so many amazing people, wealthy and who live moderately, who have made such a difference. In all there humbleness, they remain distant from an ego that could comfort
them. They are a great Inspiration in my eyes.
When you GIVE the REWARDS are unreal. You do not need to tell anyone about this, this is for you only, what you will RECEIVE in return money cant buy.
When I was 10 years old at school I remember a teacher was collecting funds for a CAUSE, I felt embarrassed as I only had penny's. I went to the teacher when no one was looking and told her my charity was far from great. She looked me in the eye, and said "Claude, every little bit counts and she smiled at me", the message stayed with me all these years.
Many of us think they are generous and are, but never take any steps to demonstrate it. Being generous does not necessary mean giving money only. You could help out in your community. You could teach someone a new skill. You can find ways to make a difference.
As a life coach, one of my goals is to give back to the community. I plan to give talks to school children. I plan to motivate and inspire them to discover there passion, pursue there goals and follow there dreams.
The legacy I want to leave behind is of someone who helped people and was honest and giving. I want to be remembered as someone who made a difference in this world.
Final Thought
Believe in yourself. Ask to receive. Be pro active. Do not be afraid. Take the first step in faith.
Give to receive. Make a difference. Give a helping hand. Your life will have a whole new meaning. I promise ;)
