Embarrassment and shame are two emotions that can really screw you over.

Have you ever done something, or messed up royally and needed help but were too embarrassed to ask?

Or have you ever been failing a class and needed to switch out or get more help, but just couldn't bear to?

Or have you ever been too much of a weenie to own up to your mistakes, so that instead of asking for help your plans just crash and burn?

Same.

However, it's not often that I put myself in these types of situations because my mom gave me the best piece of advice ever, a "golden rule" if you will...

"THE FIRST RULE OF SUCCESS IS TO ASK"

When I first heard this beautiful saying all I could think was "ha, yeah right". But my mom is old and wise and pretty darn cool and that weirdo was right.

There have been so many times where that rule has saved my ass. Not necessarily on big things, but just being able to not be scared to ask for things that you need is very liberating.

In fact, I'm not scared to ask for what I want either. And that's freaking awesome because I'm not scared of getting what I want.

Just trust me on this, the next time you're in a situation where you have to ask, just ask.

If you don't ask the answer will always be no, but if you do ask you're likely to get exactly what you want.
