Your Success Will Increase When You Ask From a Better Place

Vet needs work.  I’m hungry, please help.  
God Bless.

You’ve seen the signs.

It isn’t uncommon to see people asking for money from major interstate intersections.  Usually they wait on the median or along side the road so they can take their signs and walk through the traffic while it is stopped.

Two of these men have stood out to me this year.  I’ve already shared about one in an earlier post.  He opened my mind.  The other one, well, he brought me to tears.

You see, the second man was holding his sign and asking for money from the right hand turn lane that was entering a major interstate (I-10).  I laughed at him.

What a fool.  He isn’t standing in the right place.  
None of the cars will stop.

And then I cried.  How many times in my life have I been wondering why I’m not getting the help I’m asking for?  What if I’ve been in the “right hand turn lane”?

Ok, so now I have an awareness.  What can I do with it?

Now when I ask for help and I wonder what the problem is I make sure that I am looking in the right direction for the answers.  Have I narrowed my vision too much to see the help that’s available?  Maybe I need to try harder.

Then again, maybe I simply need to move to the median and start looking into the open windows sitting right next to the ones zooming by.

Have you ever realized that you were in a challenging spot?  Have you ever decided to move to the median so it’s easier?  Share your story with us.  I’d love to read your comments below.
