On getting what you want.

“The squeaky wheel gets the grease”

The only way you will get what you want is by asking for it! And do not take “no” for an answer.  There is always a way, so just keep asking questions, even when you run into roadblocks.  You may need to ask different people, or ask for it in a different way, but be persistent.  The result is what we want, so keep it in the forefront of your mind.   How we get there may not matter as much, so be prepared to follow a path that you may not have been down before, or that you did not anticipate.  Be prepared for the opportunities that come when you start asking for things.  You will get the grease if you are squeaky enough.  Namaste!

Give recognition where it’s due.

Make sure you tell the people in your life that you appreciate everything they do.  People do not just innately know that you are grateful for what they do, so you need to tell them!  Recognize the people who go above and beyond for you by saying “Thank You”.  Flowers, cards, and wine are great things to send to people, but the most important part is that you are taking the time to say “wow, you do so much around here, and I really notice it, and appreciate it”.  Put a smile on someone’s face today just by acknowledging what they do.  Namaste.
