verbinize week 2: ASK

"You are important enough to ask and blessed enough to receive back." - Wayne Dyer


ASK:
1. say something to find out information or seek permission
2. request someone to do or give something

When I was a child, my grandmother used to say, "it never hurts to ask," and, "you never know unless you ask." Yet as adults, we get into a routine and the routine can make us feel stuck, and we forget that sometimes the best way to get unstuck is to a) ask for help and b) ask ourselves how we got stuck in the first place and what we can do to get unstuck.

Think of the big "asks" in our lives: jobs, raises, marriage proposals, baby-making proposals, home loans, business loans. But there are small asks that can change our lives, too: asking for favors that would make our schedules work in favor of our forward momentum as we seek to live authentically and with purpose.

I think because my grandmother gifted me the "ask worm" early in my life, I've never had a problem asking for things, and as a result, I have much of want I want in life and have regular "ask conversations" with myself on what I can let go of and what is missing. Now I'm asking you to do the same. See how that works?
