The biggest epiphony hit me today over the smallest incident. I didn't have anything to bring for lunch so I was forced to go out. Planning on getting a salad, I walked over to Grand Central Market only to find the menu was filled with sandwiches and the deli case was filled with an assortment of cold pasta salads. I pondered for five minutes trying to determine what to get when I really only wanted a salad. So I just asked if they could make me one even though it was off menu. Surprisingly, they were more than willing to whip something together for me. I walked out of there for less than $6 armed with this....

I know you're probably wondering, "Really Michele? You're writing about what you had for lunch?" But hear me out a minute. I tend to forget that I have the ability to simply ask people for what I want. Sometimes it's because of my ego or my pride, and other times it's because I don't want to put anybody out. Often I find that my instinct is to just float along so as not to cause any problems, hoping that everything works out for the best. Seriously, though....how fucking stupid is that concept???? Where will that attitude get me in life?
I urge everyone out there in blog-world to think about this. What do you want out of life? What is one thing everyday that you could ask for, but choose not to? Is it help on your front squats (God knows I need that), a special request for lunch, or the raise you think you deserve but have never had the courage to ask for? I encourage each and every one of you to go out there and do everything you can to get it. I am making a personal commitment to do this for myself as well. Remember - we have nothing to lose and quite possibly everything to gain.
