Unlocking Your Hidden Superpower — Asking
Requesting what you want is like donning a cape and soaring through life. It takes guts, vulnerability, and a "screw it, let's do this" attitude. When we ask, we admit we're not freaking know-it-alls and are cool with seeking help, guidance, or a shoulder to lean on from others.
