Good Health Praise God

Even when I struggle to get some stuff done, I have learned it’s ok to ask for help. I used to deny help ALL THE TIME. I would NEVER accept help because I wanted to feel “independent” not “dependent”. I struggled a lot with that, even in my workplace. Now that I have a physical issue that I can’t control, I ask for help.

Asking for help doesn’t mean your weak or less than a person. Everyone needs help. I say it is better to ask for help than to struggle for the next 15-20 minutes. I know people can sometimes be too stubborn to ask for help. Here’s the truth, people don’t have to help you. So, if there asking, then let them help. People can be so kind to offer help, yet we can be too stubborn to accept it.

I ask for help all the time now. I used to hate it but now I’m not afraid to ask. I know there are things I simply cannot do without help. I know my limits, and as I’ve learned them over the year, I have learned the areas I need help and the areas I don’t.

I used to feel ashamed for not being able to do what I could do. I would feel bad for asking for help. But, once my loved ones realized I couldn’t do things myself, they understood better and wanted to help me. My family and boyfriend have been so supportive along this journey with me, that I wouldn’t be able to do it without them.

Never be scared to ask for help. We all know our limits. Plus, you’ll have a new appreciation for others because you’ll know what it’s like to be helped and to help others.
