If you need something…
Don’t be afraid to ask for it.
I am accustomed to trying to do things on my own. But more and more lately I have been reminded that often times the best things come from working together, or letting someone in your life help you out. The truth is most of us are taught to rely on ourselves, and even if we’re not we usually learn that some people can’t be trusted. But I say screw the cynicism. If you need something ask. I want to help. My husband wants to help. I have family, friends, acquaintances that want to help. We might not all be rich financially but we each have our own gifts, abilities and ways of doing things.
I could not be going back to school if it wasn’t for others. I would not have a load of free maternity clothes if it wasn’t for others. And you know, while that may seem small, it overwhelms me in a way it wouldn’t if I had simply acquired those things on my own. It’s great to accomplish something on your own, but the ability to help others and be helped is one of life’s little blessings that we often ignore. Just thought we all might need the reminder. So offer your help this week, or next time someone offers you something, don’t be so quick to say no. It might impact you in a way you couldn’t imagine.
