Asking for help

For a long time I thought asking for help was a sign of weakness. I thought I had to do everything myself and if I did not succeed I was a failure. I have learned over the years that asking for help is a sign of strength. We cannot do everything ourselves and by allowing others to help us we multiply the chance of success. Asking for help means that we cannot do it ourselves. We are human. There are going to be times we need the help of our family and friends. We have to give them a chance to help us. Asking for help does not mean the other person has to help us - but it gives them a chance if they can. Sometimes the best way to help someone is to not help. To allow the person to learn how to do it one their own. It could be the best lesson they learn. We have to realize that there are going to be times in our lives where we cannot tackle the mountain ourselves. We need others to help us over the mountain. A true friend will help you over the mountain but will not due the work for you. I like knowing I don't have to share the whole burden myself. We grow when we ask others for help. My challenge for you today is really simple - Ask someone for help. Let me know how it felt to reach out and let another person assist you.
