In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw explores what it really means to ask for what we want in life. She begins with some clear and simple examples of what it's like to ask for what we need, and more importantly, she points out that we need to be prepared for the consequence of not getting what we ask for. She shares that personally, she didn't ask her family for anything growing up because she was too concerned that it would be hurtful to be rejected. We also manifest what we expect... if we don't have a high expectation for ourselves, we won't reach the heights that we might truly want. Also, with our children, we need to not only teach them to strive for what they want, but it's also important for them to know that even when you ask for something, you may not get it, and there is learning in that process. Asking, however, is the place the process must begin.
