Quotable Thursday!

Back around again - Quotable Thursday! Tonight's is something I've found to be a truism, at least for me. I'm not even sure where I read it, but it's in the Quote Book, and it's still speaking to me, so there you have it. 

On to the quote, to start...

"Unless you know what you want, you can't ask for it."

Dame Emma Albani

Albani, as I just looked up, was a famous opera singer in the late 19th and early 20th century. Great how she knew this, isn't it?

Actually, I'd bet lots of people know this instinctively, but still just don't do it. My theory about that is because people don't actually know themselves as well as they'd like to believe. And most don't want to do the work to find out, because of fear or some other such useless emotion. Or some of us are just too lazy to do it, though that could go back to the fear thing.

The point is - you have to know what you want. Like, what you really want. You know what I mean. I'm not going to give a huge philosophical treatise about it all as I probably should. But I will just say this - most things are easier to get/do/have than we think. The trick is identifying them in order to even start the process by... asking. Never hurts to ask, right?

Hope you enjoyed! I'd love to hear other thoughts on this, as well, should anyone have them!
