Ask for Help

Recently, I posted this Soul Advice on my Facebook page and it seemed to resonate with quite a bit of people.  "We all like to appear strong and independent.  The truth is, though, that true strength is always found in recognizing when you need a little help, and then asking for it.  We all need a hand sometimes.  Even if you're worried that the world will judge, understand that nearly everyone is struggling inside-and that the only ones who judge are envious that you had the guts to be first."

I think I've always been the person who asked for help, but I would ask my younger sisters,lol.  I am not afraid to ask and on occasion it did turn out chaotic due to judgments.  The thing is though, until we walk in another's shoes it is probably best to come from a place of compassion and open to understanding if it's possible rather than judging others.  Some folks cannot help their instinct to judge and do not really care that their beliefs may be misleading them.  It is a known fact that at some point in one's life they will face a challenge that weighs heavy and the weight becomes known their struggle.  For some it's relationships, for others it's money, for some it's time, mental health, food, whatever it is, it's one persons struggle. 

I challenge you to come from a place of "hmmm, I wonder what I could help that person with today because I know they must have a battle that they are fighting too because we all do".  Let us for one moment stop being envious of others, stop thinking that the grass is greener, or you want to be like so and so when we grow up. 

​Be honest with yourself about the biggest challenge you face and then start putting out your feelers as to what ways you can ask for help.  Maybe it's more education about a topic, maybe it's talking with others about it, but whatever you do, come from a place of power instead of a place of victim.  You are overcoming this day by day and your first step is to acknowledge that you are not perfect and neither is the person next to you.  If you hold your problem in and do not ever ask for help then you can't blame others for moving in a positive direction to rid their days of the pain.  

Today, I send you peace and compassion for those around you, more understanding that a person is asking for help usually as a last resort, but perhaps you can be proactive and ask that person if there is anything that you may help another person with.  Maybe you have the resource that they've been praying for.
