Ask for it

It's a good thing the people around you can read your mind, and they all desperately want to make you happy. Wait, that doesn't happen?  Well then, how do you go about getting what you want?  It's simple, you ask for it.

It would be easier to wait patiently for everyone to give you what you want.  But the right choice is the harder one.  Asking for what you want is hard, because you open yourself to the possibility that someone will say 'no' to you.  But if you don't ask, the end result is the same as if someone told you 'no,' but you never even give yourself the chance for them to say 'yes.'

Is there someone you're attracted to?  Ask them out.  Do you want a raise at work?  Ask for it.  Are you having a hard time with something?  Ask for help.  What's the worst that could happen?  They might say no.  You're in the same situation you were in before, but you just made yourself a little stronger by taking some action in the course of your life.

If your goal is to live your life on purpose, then you have to constantly be working towards your goals, and asking for what you want from the people around you.  At first it's hard to do, but the more you do it, the easier  it will become, and the more you will get what you want by asking for it.

It seems like a pretty simple way to make your life better.  Try it out, and I think you'll like it.
