ASK AND RECEIVE

“IF THERE IS SOMETHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE BY ASKING, BY ALL MEANS ASK."
W. Clement Stone.

Ananda is eleven years old, and loves music.
He is exceptionally talented on soprano saxophone
and also likes to compose.

One day, maybe he'll play in a famous philharmonic orchestra and eventually become the conductor. Awesome!

For now, Ananda's biggest goal is to earn enough money
to buy a new saxophone and a keyboard to compose on.

When you're eleven it's hard to find a good- paying job,
especially when school takes up most of the week.

Ananda, however, is determined. He really wants the new instruments.
Every Saturday he goes down to the local mall
and stands near the doors of the main entrance.

He sets up a music stand and takes a clarinet from an old case.
In front of him he places a hand-written sign, and then he starts to play.

His sign reads:

MY NAME IS Ananda
I'M ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
I'M EARNING MONEY TO BUY A SOPRANO SAXOPHONE AND A KEYBOARD.
WOULD YOU PLEASE LIKE TO HELP?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Beside the sign is a plastic container and the above personal request's list.

Ananda has Discovered a Magic Formula. It's called Asking.
He's doing what most People Need To Do - He's Taking Action.

As Ananda skillfully plays a selection of well-known tunes the money rolls in.
A dollar from a passing businessman, fifty cents from a young girl, five dollars
from a well-dressed grandmother.
At this rate it won't be long before Ananda's goal becomes a reality.

By using a little creativity and summoning up the courage to ask for help,
he's found a unique way to get what he wants.

With this type of gutsy determination, who would bet on him not achieving his greater musical ambitions?
Not Me, that's for sure.

It's been around for a long, long time, this Gift called Asking.
In fact, one of life's Fundamental Truth's states,

Ask and You shall receive.
Its that Simple! Of course,
Yes it is.

And kids are the masters.

Their formula is usually to Ask until they Get what they Want.

As Adults, We seem to Lose Our Ability to Ask.
We Come up with all sorts of Excuses and Reasons
to Avoid any Possibility of Rejection.

Children are not Programmed like that.
They Really Believe They Can Have Anything they ask for.
Whether it's a fifty-foot swimming pool or a chocolate ice cream cone.

Here's what You Need to Understand;
The World Responds to Those who Ask.

If You are not moving closer to What You Want,
You probably aren't Doing Enough Asking.

Remember the old song;

Ask and You Shall be Given,
Seek and You Shall Recieve,
Knock and Doors Shall Open,
Stretch Out Your Hand and You Shall be Reached.


Fortunately, to create Future Abundance there are many ways to ask.

Here are useful acronyms to remind you about asking:

ATTITUDE SKILLS KNOWLEDGE = A S K

It is Your Attitude with the Skills You Consciosuly Choose
to Employ with the right Knowledge, that Delivers Success.

ALWAYS SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

Majority of the People say Knowledge is Power.
This is far from the truth!

The Correct Usage of Knowledge is Power.

That's something to imprint in Your Brain Forever.

When You Ask, You Can Receive all sorts of information,
ideas, strategies, names of people with influence and,
yes, even money.

There are many good reasons to ask and the rewards are substantial.

BUILDING EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIPS

"SOME PEOPLE ENTER OUR LIVES AND LEAVE ALMOST INSTANTLY.

OTHERS STAY, AND FORGE SUCH AN IMPRESSION ON OUR HEART AND SOUL,
WE ARE CHANGED FOREVER."

Make a Decision Today to Build a Fortress around You.
Select Only the Best People. There are Many to Choose from.

Remember, Life is all about Building and Enjoying Great Relationships.

You deserve Your Fair Share!

It takes Confidence to Assert Yourself and Seek Out Excellent People.

PROSPERITY IN LIFE IS DERIVED MORE FROM WHO YOU KNOW, NOT WHAT YOU KNOW.

SUCCESS & GOALS ARE REACHED QUICKER DEPENDING ON WHO KNOWS YOU,
THAN JUST WHOM YOU KNOW.

Go Ahead and Ask for What You Want,
From Whom You Want and there are 99 % chances that

YOU WILL RECEIVE and if not "Experience is What You Will Get When You Don't Get What You want".
