“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
How many times have someone missed an opportunity to gain knowledge, assistance, or something or someone that may benefit his/her life because he/she didn’t ask? It is generally due to the fear of rejection.
There were instances when I struggled with a problem or needed assistance in a situation, but I hesitated to ask for help. Then, I pushed myself to get pass the fear of the dreaded “no.” I ask of myself: What is the worse that can happen because I got the answer “no.?” Often the answer is not that serious. This gives me the courage to ask. Guess what? The answer is usually “yes.” I found out that I lose more when I don’t ask, than when I do.
Paulo Coelho says it best…when we ask, this universe of ours conspires to make it happen. Go ahead. Ask! Enjoy this Wisdom Wednesday by Living a Diamond Life. Live a Life of Purpose!

A no is better than the what ifs that ultimately follow! Leave no stone unturned, throw yourself at life, into it, through it!

This is so true. What ifs leads to regrets (if onlys) most of the time.
