Asking II


You should ask, always.  You can’t expect others to divine, like I said in yesterday’s post, BUT, it’s important to be aware of how you’re asking.  Sometimes our ask sounds like an imperative, a command and sometimes, that’s no accident -- we are not expecting or are not aware enough, or don’t respect the other person enough to realize that the person we’re asking has a choice.  But guess what?  Everyone has a choice.
Asking without being open to a NO, without respecting the other persons’ right to refuse, is just being a bully.  Real simple.
