I'm not asking anymore …..
When we ask for what we want, there’s almost always an invisible bow in the body. A slight leaning forward. A quiet hope that something out there will be kind, generous, approving, or finally say “yes.” It doesn’t feel weak on the surface, but energetically it places the source of fulfillment outside of us. Permission-based living. And the moment permission is involved, power has already been outsourced.
Claiming is different. Claiming doesn’t argue with reality, and it doesn’t beg it either. It’s a choice made internally before the world has caught up. It’s the nervous system settling into “this is mine to experience,” not because anyone allowed it, but because you decided to occupy that timeline. That’s where the center of gravity shifts back into the body, back into the present moment, back into authorship.
Practically speaking, this is one of those places where language trains the system. “I hope,” “I’m asking,” “I wish” all reinforce waiting. “I choose,” “I’m moving toward,” “I’m claiming this experience” tells your inner mechanics to reorganize around that decision. The world still responds, of course, but now it’s responding to a signal instead of a request. And that’s a very different conversation with reality.
