Figure out what you want....

In the movie How Do You Know, Reese Witherspoon plays a former National Team softball player struggling with her identity (and her boyfriend, Owen Wilson.)  In desperation, she schedules an appointment with a Psychiatrist.  She arrives at the appointment anxious, hyper.  Before ever sitting down, she talks herself out of the process.  Before leaving, she asks the Doctor if there was one piece of advice he could give a client what would it be.  His answer: "Figure out what you want and learn how to ask for it."  Sound advice.  So often we don't know what we want and either don't know how or don't have the courage to ask.  This can cause angst not just for ourselves, but for those around us.  By having the courage to figure out exactly what we want and the courage to ask for it, change can begin.  And, while change may be scary, it sure beats the frustration of "stuck".
