I’m researching for my upcoming book “Ask.” I have Adwynna MacKenzie on the line and she’s saying we learn to no longer ask. We “grow up” and we’re supposed to know–or at least we think we’re supposed to know.

Yet, the power of asking is the power beyond knowledge. Sure, you’ll probably get an answer, but the act of asking, in my humble opinion, leapfrogs you beyond just knowing.

It’s learning, it’s sinking in, it’s admitting you don’t know, asking to know, knowing, and now it’s more than knowing.

Adwynna says it better than I’m trying to summarize here. Listen to our conversation and ask me a question you’re (usually) afraid to ask in the comments.

All of our upbringing is created to teach us to be independent.

You bring in a bunch of independent people … group dynamics … disbands … independent people have a difficult time learning how to be interdependent.

No one wants to admit that they don’t understand what they just got taught. They go into hiding, they don’t reach out for help because they think everyone else knows.

Oh wow, it just didn’t land for me.

I didn’t understand what she meant when she said …

The earlier you reach out for help, the faster your completed project will happen.

Let me see if I understand what you just said.

When you’re a part of Spark Campfire, we’re going to get a book done.

In a month.

Together.

This is what happens when I record in the morning.

I’m clear, I’m energized, and I’m pretty much unstoppable.

We could just keep doing the stupid stuff that frustrates us every day.

Or we could fix it and stop doing it.

And free up that frustrated, annoyed, mad, sad, teary energy with something more along the lines of light, fluffy, hey-is-that-a-sesame-bagel morning stuff that’s going to start your day off so much better.

Running out of time today. Or is it this week? Is it Thursday already?

I know I’ve done a lot, but I’m not sure what that is.

OK, fine. But what do you do about it?

1. Avoid
2. Run
3. Hesitate
4. Do it anyway
5. Do it because you’re scared

I’m faced with a few things I’m scared of at the moment. Some you might be really scared of. Others less so.

So what are you going to do with that scares you?

It’s the beginning of the year. Ready for a bit of a challenge?

I was challenged today in just the way I needed to be.

What is that saying: when the student is ready, the teacher appears?

We could even get a grasp on our Spark Campfire book project for February 2019 while in a busy ski lodge in northern Arizona during a snowstorm.

Or we could wait. Until tomorrow. When we’re more ready. More prepared. When we have more time to make a big deal about it.

Or we could just wing it.
