EP 600: Ask!: The Most Profound Tool That Can Take You From Your Dreams To Your Destiny With Mark Victor Hansen And Crystal Dwyer Hansen
Many of us have dreams that are left unshared, that we tend to hide away, and that we only keep to ourselves. Unfortunately, these are the very dreams that don’t get realized. If you want to fulfill what it is that you truly wish, then perhaps letting it out and asking about it could be the answer for you. Taking us further down into the reasons sharing your dreams matter, Scott Carson talks with not one but two very special guests, authors Crystal Dwyer Hansen and Mark Victor Hansen. Together, they share with us their new book, Ask! The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny, which highlights the act of asking as the only language by which the Universe can deliver a solution, understanding, illumination, or plan so we can reach our dreams and fulfill our destinies. Join in on this episode to learn the three channels that are important to understand in the asking journey—asking yourself, asking others, and asking God—and to find the courage and inspiration to close the gap between your dreams and your destiny.
