Help? I never thought I would say that word. To me, asking for help was the kiss of death. Weakness. A vulnerability. Because I grew up needing to get through very hard things on my own, I subconsciously felt that to keep myself safe and get myself through hard things, I just had to buck up and get through. I truly believed that A) There would be no one there to help me and B) Showing vulnerability could get me hurt. Believing that, no way was asking for help gonna happen! Now I’ve grown to realize this thinking is wrong. No judgement here, you may be like me and not have family to count on or you may not have a lot of helpful friends. Maybe you feel like I did. That doesn’t mean asking for help is wrong as a matter of fact that’s not even the type of help I’m talking about. If you want to do things you have never done before and conquer big fears you have to “look up” and ask for help from those who can really help you and usually they are people that are outside of your circle. Reaching out for help is not only a powerful thing to do it is a necessary thing to do. Ever notice that power athletes, business titans, and high achieving celebrities do it? They seek help because it works.
