DoorMats don\u2019t think they deserve too much. When I lived in DoorMatville, I mainly took what I got and didn\u2019t ask for much. Even as I got stronger, I still had ingrained beliefs that I should be happy with what I got. As I evolved spiritually, my old habits kept me from asking God for more than one thing as a time. I\u2019d been taught to not be a greedy girl and thought that also meant not trying to manifest too much at one time. How wrong I was!<\/p>\n

The more you ask for, the more you get from every direction. But for me, asking for a lot conflicted with not wanting to be greedy, which seemed like a big negative. For years I held myself back form manifesting the riches of life since i was a good girl and thought I should just ask for a little. I became enlightened when I read Prayer of Jabez by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, a little book that packs a big spiritual punch. It explains a 4-line prayer from the bible. The first line woke me up:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, that you would bless me indeed.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Wilkinson explains that indeed means that God wants me to ask for a lot! When I read the explanation\u2014that God wants us to ask for as much as we want, including miracles, and not limit our desires\u2014I was incredulous! Up until then I limited what I expected to manifest. If I was trying to manifest more money, I felt like a pig also asking for good weather on the weekend or for other things I wanted. I realized that my belief that asking for too much was limiting what I got since the Law of Attraction only supports us in our expectations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One thing at a time seemed the way it should be. But that was before I read, \u201cOh, that you would bless me indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

I realized that asking for one thing at a time told God that was all I wanted or thought I deserved. Our thoughts attract what we get. If you only think you deserve a little, that\u2019s what you\u2019ll attract! So I began asking for more, and more came. It reinforced that I deserved to be fulfilled in all areas of my life. I don\u2019t have to pick and choose what my desires should be. God wants me to have it all!<\/p>\n

YOU can ask for everything! Of course you have to believe you deserve it and put the emotion into your desires.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t limit yourself or be afraid to think too big. If you ask for a lot, the worst that can happen is you get less than you asked for. If you ask for a little, you\u2019re guaranteed to just get a little. I\u2019ve has so many miracles because I asked for them. I mean HUGE ones, things people thought I was crazy to expect. But, I got them because I know I\u2019m worthy and let the Universe know that.<\/p>\n

Think big when you put on your manifesting cap.<\/strong> Be greedy! Not the selfish kind of greedy that takes at the expense of other people. But put out what you want for you without boundaries. Love yourself enough to allow yourself to feel worthy of all the good you can attract.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1787"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1866,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1787\/revisions\/1866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
