Be Prepared

"Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it." - Maya Angelou, poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, and activist 


It is okay to ask for what you want but it is important to remember to be ready to receive it should it come to you. Sometimes when we build something up in our minds, we can be disappointed because what we achieved does not turn out exactly the way we imagined it would.

Many people work for years and years to achieve their greatest dreams. The problem comes when they realize it is not what they wanted after all. The result can bring feelings of having wasted too much time and energy. Yet we really never truly waste time and energy, no matter what we are doing. That is because we are learning throughout the entire process. If the end result is not to our liking, we have just learned something new about ourselves and that can never be a waste of time or energy.

Awareness can only help us in our journey in life. Always remember to be aware throughout your days and you will learn more, grow spiritually, and enjoy life fully. Life is good - really!

Today I will not be afraid to ask for what I want. I will be prepared to receive all that I want. I am grateful.
