There I was, on a tiny plane taking this 20-minute flight to the City, staring at an empty co-pilot seat. And something in me said, Ask. The old scripts kicked in—Don’t be too much. Don’t ask for special treatment. Don’t draw attention. But this time, I ignored them. I walked up and made the request. And the pilot? He smiled, patted the seat, and said, “Come, mama.” Just like that.
What struck me wasn’t the view (though it was stunning)—it was the truth: A whole world opens up when you’re willing to ask. Not demand. Not force. Just ask.
