Asking for what is need is probably the most under-utilized tool for people. And yet amazing requests have been granted to people simply because they asked for it! Whether it’s money, information, support, assistance or time, most people are afraid to ask for what they need in order to make their dreams come true. They might be afraid of looking needy, ignorant, helpless or even greedy. More than likely, though, it is the fear of rejection that is holding them back. Even though they are afraid to hear the word no, they are already saying it to themselves by not asking! Do you ask for what you need and want? Are you afraid of rejection? Well consider this: Rejection is just a concept. There really is no such thing as rejection! You are not any worse off by hearing no than you were before you asked. You didn’t have what you asked for before you asked and you still don’t, so what did you lose? Being rejected does not hold you back from anything—only you hold yourself back! If you are told no, ask what you would have to do to get it, or ask again at another time when the circumstances have changed a bit. Ask if they know someone else who might say yes. When you realize that there is no merit to rejection, you will feel more comfortable asking for things. But you may need a bit of help learning how to ask for what you want. - Jack Canfield
