Why are so many of us so hesitant to utter this four letter word? Is it because we believe it shows weakness? Or because we are stubborn and believe we can do everything ourselves? Or maybe it’s because we don’t want to feel beholden to someone else? Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure… Not using it prevents us from living life to the fullest.
Realizing we are part of a community can be a blessing. We all have talents that are uniquely ours. Sharing them is why we are here. You can be the best drummer on the planet but without a string section there’s only so far your talents can take you. Asking someone who is a piano virtuoso to play in your band is a sign of wisdom not weakness.
Being willing to ask for “Help” will open doors and afford opportunities that were previously incomprehensible. Don’t be afraid to utter the word. You will be humbled by the result.
