What Do You Need Next?

[Wes Tuinstra]

One of the oddest things about the beautiful human mind is that it can trick us out of getting what we need. And we can come up with an endless number of reasons why we haven't addressed a need but, the troublesome thing about "needs" is that they don't go away - on their own, that is.

Recently, I've been having some terrific conversations with some of the most intelligent men and women I've ever met.

Yet, there seems to be this common thread among many of them: many are stuck right at the precipice of getting the thing they need. But they don't get it even though from my perspective the distance between what they need and where they are is amazingly short.

Many seem to have some sort of mental "braking-mechanism" that stops them from doing the very thing they need in order to succeed: ASKING.

If you want help, asking is the thing that triggers helping hands to take action.

But, and correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that the biggest challenge of asking is that we either don't know or can't or won't express what our needs are.

We know that the needs are there.

We know that you have needs.

We just don't know what they are and we don't know when you need to have them addressed.

As a member here on BiggerPockets, I'd like for each member to feel as comfortable as possible in sharing your needs.

Do you know what you need? - If so, tell us about it.
Do you know how to determine what you need? - If not, ask us about it.
While we may not be able to help the whole world, we should be able to help you.

But, you have to help us find your need.
