"The more you ask, the more you get, but it takes practice to get good at it. success is a numbers game. As the Buddhist sages observed, "Every arrow that hits the bull's eye is the result of one hundred misses." Flex your "asking muscles" by asking for a better table at your favorite restaurant, for a free second scoop at your local ice cream shop or for a complimentary upgrade on your next airline flight. you might be surprised at the abundance that will flow into your life when you just ask sincerely for the things you want."
