“When I need help I ask, when others need help I give it” Sara
Many people feel that asking for assistance is a sign of weakness. I believe it is a sign of strength. When you ask for help whether on a project, to move furniture or advice on a problem, you are acknowledging the fact that you have limitations and that you need others. We are all very knowledgeable in certain areas but not in all, so we need each other.
Sometimes there are very stubborn people in the world (like myself) who resist the urge to ask for help and do it all themselves. I believe at times this is okay because it pushes us to learn and grow. However when you begin to stumble, feel burned out, or your project isn’t going well it’s important to acknowledge it and realize it is okay to”ask” and most people are more than willing to lend a helping hand.
On the flip side there are also people in this world who are always asking for help and never learn to to do things for themselves. Those people I believe are selling themselves short. A little struggle is good, it helps us to grow and learn.It is best to keep a balance. Attempt things on your own first, if you find you are at a standstill acknowledge your needs and ask for some help.
Here is my STAY POSITIVE thought for the week.
On the Brighter Side 
I have had to learn to ask for help – it is not easy.
I can relate. I have a hard time asking for help. I am still learning how to do this. I agree it is not easy.
I wonder if we think asking for help is a sign of weakness or do we just think we are supposed to handle it all or appear incapable…..?????
You can become incapable when you don’t ask for help and you get overburdened. I am sure some people look at it as asking for help is a sign that they are incapable but that really is a shame. Everyone needs help from time to time. Without others help and talents our world wouldn’t be what it is today.
Well done good blog
