'Many things are lost for want of asking'. Sometimes opportunities are close enough to touch, yet we shy away.
It seems too good to be true, or we're scared of taking the risk of speaking up. The worst that can happen, if we ask, is that we might be told "no". That's the same result as if we hadn't asked at all, so no harm done. Sometimes, however, we get what we ask for - but only if we make request.
When i have a request to make, I will be courageous and ask it. I might be told "no". But, i might be told "yes" and that can be life-changing.
