Am I willing to ask and receive, and enjoy contributing in the process?

When people ask you for something, how quickly do you respond? Immediately? As soon as you can? Are you faster when they're clear on what they want and help you out? When you ask for something, what do you expect? Do you enjoy and contribute to the creation process? Or do you get impatient when you don't see results immediately and give up on the whole thing? One of the truths of the universe is “ask and you shall receive.” Does it say “immediately, while you kick back”? Does it say “ask for something vague and hope to receive what you secretly desire?” No. So if you'd like to take advantage of this truth, ask “Am I willing to ask and receive, and enjoy contributing to the process?” What if by being clear about your desires, being willing to do whatever it takes to create them, and being patient knowing that it may take time for ducks to line and kittens to herd, you received more than you could possibly imagine?
