Two simple explanations, actually. :)

First, is of my absence. As many of you know, my family and I have moved from Whitecourt to St. Albert. The transition took a little longer than expected, but it’s all coming together. We just have to unpack now. :)

The second is of my last post: Backwards Blogging

- and the question I had about the phrase, “Ask, and you will receive”

Ryan Taylor.. new subscriber to the blog – had the most riveting comment about this, and so as promised, I am featuring his comment here…

Ryan has stepped out recently and made a blog over at potentialtolive.com. His content is fantastic and the wisdom he holds can project you to new heights.

Here’s what he says:

The translation is simple – Ask and you shall recieve. The complication to the simple action is in the consistency. You can’t ask for it once, twice, even a couple dozen times and expect it to show up. You have to ask for and live it. Live it in your actions, live it in your words, and live it in your mind. When coupled with time a singular focus, direction and commitment you will achieve anything you ask for.

Alternatively, if you ask and take little or no action steps you will recieve a very diluted version of your desires or something completely different because you have also asked for many others. This is what I see most often, which is a shortcut that doesn’t ever work.

Know you can achieve anything! When you ask for it you are really asking yourself and how you put it into motion is your answer.

Ryan, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

“Ask and you will receive” is one of those perfect sentences that sum up a lot of things. It’s also what I stand for.

In the course that I am releasing soon, I address this very issue. Here’s a diagram that I use to describe this idea of asking:

People have asked me time and time again what Carpe Fidem means. It’s this:

Seize Faith



Spirit of Faith, Man of Action
