Asking
for Support by Leslie Karen Sann, MA, LCPC
Part of creating success is asking for and receiving
support. Tap into the available resources to support you in getting where
you are going.
Many of us don't ask for support. We think we have
to do it all ourselves. It is challenging for Americans to ask for
support. We have a very individualistic cultural personality. Think Clint
Eastwood in Pale Rider; having sent the posse in the wrong direction
trotting into the sunset to get his man - alone.
There are consequences to our productivity and well
being when we don't ask for the support we need. Making a request is one
of the most powerful actions on the planet. If I want a glass of water and
I ask you to get it for me and you say yes, I now have a glass of water
where a moment before I did not.
Writing out what you want in the form of a Living
Vision and making a Treasure Map are in themselves requests. You are
asking of your creativity, and the creative powers that be, for something
you desire.
Often in life, we need assistance to get us to where
we are going. We cannot do it all alone. People matter. Learning to ask
for help is an essential skill in the process of manifestation.
Think of all the steps needed to meet your goal.
What if other people were helping you produce that outcome, and if not
directly, indirectly, perhaps doing little things such as empty the
dishwasher, run carpool for you, stop at the store, make the bed, drop
this package at the post office, so that your time and energy are freed to
devote to your goals.
Allow yourself to wonder: What do you need to ask
for and who do you need to ask?
Your life is your creation, your baby. Make sure
your baby, your life, receives the care, attention and support it needs to
grow and to thrive.

network of support is an important aspect of living by design.
A Reader Shares a Win:
I have found that taking the first action (step)
facilitates ease and gets me in motion. I am finding energy available for
me to use to create flow through action.
I am spending far less time worrying about what is
not done, because I'm in action - I am participating not avoiding! It's
very cool. ~ M.L. ~
