You get what you deserve

19/3/2014

Do you think you are getting what you deserve in life?

Is life giving you what you deserve? 
Are you getting what you want??
Do you have everything you need?

If the answer to any of these questions is no then I have one of the keys to getting more out of life. 

Recently I have had lots of experiences that I wanted to share with you that illustrate this point beautifully

Do you ask for exactly what you want?

Whilst staying in the Grand Canyon we checked into our room which had a "full size bed".  We got to the room and the "full size" bed was TINY!  Katie and I would not have fitted in it together!

I went back to reception and made a joke about having to sleep to close to my wife and I asked if they had a room with a bigger bed. 

For free they upgraded us to a deluxe room with a king size bed like the one you see above.

I could have just accepted what I was given or I could ask for what I want (with rapport and in a friendly manor). Look what happened when I asked! 

You don't always get what you want, but one things is for certain: If you don't ask you will never get what you want!

The Grand Canyon, Arizona

In life you don't get what you deserve you get what you ask for

As some of you know Katie and I have taken a few months off to travel around the world.  We were at the Grand Canyon last week and went for Breakfast in a restaurant on the Grand Canyon Rim.  The waiter took us to a table tucked away in the corner nowhere near to the Canyon Rim.  Katie politely asked if he had a table with a view of the Canyon we were instantly moved to a table with incredible views over the Grand Canyon.  If we had not asked we would have been stuck in the corner with no view! 

You get what you ask for

Some of the things we have got by asking:

  • The best seats in the house at Cirque De Soleil when we only bought cheap seats
  • Discounted hotel rooms
  • Free food and drink at restaurants

Amazing things happen when you ask!

In life you don't get what you deserve you get what you ask for

Things to remember:

  • It doesn't always work - sometimes people say no!  Shouldn't stop you asking though.
  • Always ask nicely - with rapport, humour if possible and a good energy
  • The more fun you have the more fun other people have around you

Your challenge this week is to ask exactly for what you want and to report back below how it goes!!  Get out there and start asking the world for what you want,................
