Ask for what you want
In life, assertiveness is imperative. Most successful individuals will attest to this. Hence there is a saying that follows, “there is no hurt is asking, the most one can say is no”. Always strive to be bold, daring and brave in your daily endeavors. Life coaches and inspirational adults would ask you this question upon any consultation; “why it is important to ask for what you want?” The answer will always be a no if you don’t ask, whereas if you ask there is a possibility of getting what you want.
This is one aspect of life I feel so strongly about that I was actually inspired by the magnificent actress Priyanka Chopra to write this blog. In a recent interview Priyanka stated to Anupama Chopra whom is a journalist that when she looked at the script for a TV Series named Quantico, one of the things she stipulated to ABC was that “I am really sorry but I am used to playing lead, even if I play a supporting part it has to be something that consist of integral parts to the show”. She further said otherwise that she has an amazing career thus far and she wanted to maintain this trend as per her movie choices. ABC completely understood. My mouth was left open, she stood up for what she believed in and she was 100% right. She is accustomed to playing lead roles and while some may become smitten just by the grandeur of ABC Network, she looked at the 26 scripts and asked for what she wanted and it was given to her. That right there is proof to showcase that sometimes one should always put forth there true inhibitions and make clear their motivations.
The answer may not always be what you want to hear, however it is important to ask for what you want and be confident when doing so. Another key factor is knowing the correct approach in asking or putting forth your request for something. As they say you can’t catch flies with vinegar, therefore at times you just may need to try honey.
Good luck and remember believe in yourself
