Does it take courage to ask? You bet it does. You need courage to overcome the fear of rejection, the fear of losing face and the fear of being embarrassed. All of them relate to the fear of what may happen.

First of all, it takes courage to ask, but if you don’t ask you don’t get. Am I right? By simply not asking, the answer is automatically a “NO”!

If you have the courage to ask, you will increase the odds of getting a “yes” reply. The odds are 50/50.

When you possess the courage to ask, you increase your odds of getting a positive response. However, if you get a NO answer, did you lose anything? No! How can you lose something you never had?

All it takes is a little courage. Therefore, make it a habit to have the courage to ask. Also, be careful what you ask for, because you may just get it!

You must have the courage to ask yourself what you want out of life. Once you know what you want, you can seek it out. It is by seeking out what you truly want that you will discover all the doors of opportunity right in front of you. Finally, you must have the courage to knock.

Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Luke 11: 9-10

Have the courage to ask yourself questions, to ask of others, and to ask often. Don’t ever be shy to ask. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
