When you feel strongly about something, you have to ask the hard questions.

• Prepare ahead of time
• Think about the request
• Decide how you will describe it
• Be very clear
• Outline the reasons why
• Stay convicted

It is not actually that difficult, but you have to ask what you are moved and compelled to ask. Then, when they say yes, be proud of yourself. In the future, you will be able to look back and remember how it feels. It will be important to remind yourself for the next time so you have the confidence to do it sooner.
