the power of the ask

I am a terrible "asker."

I don't like to ask people to help. Especially out of the blue. Especially at church(work). Especially over the phone.

I hate it so much I will procrastinate to the point of tears. I have daymares about terrible phone calls.

Oddly, when I do finally ask, I've found lately that I am rarely turned down. People like to be asked to contribute to projects where meaning and significance is being created.

The point: I need to get over myself.
