Ask for what you want.

"We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for."


Elbert Hubbard, American writer.



I think we forget that there is great power in asking for what we want. So often we expect something to happen or expect a behaviour from another and get very disappointed, even annoyed when it does not unfold as we would want. How did we let our desires be known? How can someone or for that matter the universe, give us what we want if we have not expressed it clearly.

Very often we fear getting a "no" in response or we simply feel the other person should know what we want. By some telepathy I suppose! So we don't ask outright. Well if we asked directly me might get that direct no. Rejection is a deeply held fear. It goes back to being rejected from the tribe or society, from a time we could not survive alone. Risking disappointment is safer than outright rejection.

As a result we act out of fear or a lack of awareness of what is truly going on. We fail to see the possibility we could also get a yes. People are pretty obliging, they want to help, they generally want us to be happy and so does Spirit. So ask! Put it out there. Be forthright and brave, and expect the best. We may occasionally be disappointed but often delightfully surprised too.


Have you asked lately for what you want? Have you expressed a wish in wondering what something would feel like? Or by saying, yes, that's for me, when you see someone else doing or being what you want to be? These are all really great and positive ways ask for what you want and to manifest your desires. I know because they have worked for me.

What do you want?



"Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door shall be opened onto you."
