I Used to Be Terrified of Asking. Then This Happened...

We've all felt it—that tightness in the chest before asking for a promotion, going on a first date, or submitting a dream job application.

Fear of rejection is a powerful force, holding us back from what we want most. But what if the real power is in the act of asking itself...

...regardless of the answer?

Fearing "no" is often more about our internal narrative than the outcome itself. We attach self-worth to outcomes, equating rejection with failure.

Think about that. We're so afraid of a potential "no" that our lives reflect as if the "no" has already happened.

Where's the logic in that?

We surrender our power to chance instead of taking charge. We become architects of our own 'no.'

We shrink. Stagnate. Hand over the power to build our lives to some random chance, the winds of life pushing us on a course not of our choosing.

A transformative shift occurs when we focus on the act of asking itself. When you concentrate on ASKING, the world opens up. Each time, you...

• Take control of our own story

• Create possibilities that weren't there a second ago.

• Inspire others with our courage.

This isn't about getting a 'yes.' It's about becoming an active navigator of your own life, not a passenger drifting along.

STOP fearing the strikeout – you're not even IN the game if you don't swing...

Have a great weekend,
