![]() If you have been asking, but not receiving, what might that be about? Ask and you shall receive. It is one of the key elements in manifesting the life that makes life worth living! It has become my daily practice to fill my day with asking questions that allow my life to expand and not contract. When I ask questions like- "What in the world was I thinking?" or " What's wrong with me that I would do that?" my world contracts into a tight space of judgment. And I can't receive anything from that space, except more judgment. And I don't know about you, but more judgment is not on my "ask" list. When I ask simple, empowering questions like-
"What would it take for this _____ to change?" "What else is possible here that I haven't thought of?" "What do I know about this?" "What's right about this that I'm not getting?" "Who can help me with this?" These questions open me up to receive more information and expand my awareness. They take me away from judging myself. I get to explore greater possibilities, that lead to greater choices. And that is how I get to receive all that I am asking for. Most of us are tired of settling for the same old- health, relationship, money and career issues that we have been dealing with for what can seem like forever. When you start to ask some different questions, you can begin to receive greater options to choose from. I was amazed at what began to change for me as soon as I began asking empowering questions. My First Experience with Empowering Questions The first time, I did this, I remember I was going shopping for a birthday gift for my father-in-law. We had decided to get him a model of a 1966 VW Bug that matched one he had just purchased. I knew it was probably a long shot that I would find the right year but I decided to ask- What would it take to find this model car with ease? I went to the local hobby store and went to the aisle for the model cars. And lo and behold right in front of me was THE car model I needed. And it was the only one. As I checked out, the clerk told me that he was surprised I found this model as they don't usually carry this brand and make. Wow, that was easy and I have been asking empowering questions ever since. Now I don't always get those same results and when I don't then I ask- What is right about this that I am not getting? And I will discover that there is something else needed or something else that would work better. It is all about being willing to be curious and aware. What would be or could be different for you if you began to be more aware through the questions and choices that you apply to your life and living? What would be different if you didn't judge you or your choices, but stayed curious and in the question?
