Too often shyness overwhelms, squelching the action that could lead to something good. Too often, a lack of confidence overtakes us, holds us back from making a move.
Yet others would appreciate our energy, would enjoy taking a trip or following a conversation with us. Why do we deprive them, deprive ourselves of such a wonderful time? Why do we so often sabotage ourselves?
Instead, think of a way that makes it easy for someone to say yes. Hope for it, expect it, act like it’s the only reasonable response.
Make it easy, and s/he might just say “Yes!”
