Desires and Lies - Recognizing the Lies

"Learn to ask for what you want. The Vibrational Manifestation worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked." Peter McWilliamsWhy are we so afraid to ask for what we want in life? For most of us, it's the fear of rejection. We hate to hear the word "no" and we take it so personally. I believe part of the reason is because as children we hear the word no so often; it becomes ingrained in our soul as painful and something to be avoided at all cost. But what does it really mean when someone tell us no? As McWilliams states in the aforementioned quote, all it really means is that we're still in the same place as when we started - not better off, but not worse off either. So that means that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Asking for something that we want can sometimes be seen as taking a risk. And in order to be successful, we know that we have to take risks. It truly scares me to think of all the outcomes that could have happened and all of the things I could have had, but I was too afraid to ask. When you start to contemplate this, it will become more painful NOT to ask for what you want, than it is to take the risk of asking.

Another dilemma I often have and also see in others is knowing when to give up asking for what you want after repeatedly hearing no. There is a part of me that says, "never give up", because I do believe that people really want to say yes to you eventually, or they get tired of saying no! And if you give up before they do say yes, you'll never really know if you could have gotten what you were asking for. A marketing study done at Notre Dame University found the following statistics:
