You have to be careful what you ask for.
Well, that’s not necessarily so.
You’d do better to be careful how you ask for what it is you want. Think of all the guidance offered through the years - the folklore of requesting:
-You’ll catch more flies with honey
-The squeaky wheel gets the grease
So, do you think the gods want to listen one more time to your puny, whiney, hesitant whimpering?
Put yourself in their place. (I dare you!)
Now, as you are on equal footing with them – ask.
No, demand.
Expect and anticipate that the gods will delight in your boldness. That they will grant your invocation with generosity and glee – sighing and chuckling at your confidence.
Mark you decision to ask as the moment of commitment to bear witness to the miracles the gods will heap upon you.
GET UP and ask for what you want.
Look the gods in the eye and declare it – “This is to be mine!”
It’s a game to them, you see. It’s a game to them – the bestowing of desires.
And as any player knows it’s more fun when the other player steps in knowing her worth.
