Daily Gratitude: Most of these things I post are meant for me as well as all of you. One of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to learn is to ask for help.

I am a lot better at this but still have a long way to go. But I have realized that asking for help is not a weakness as I had been taught as a child.

It is a pooling of resources and also provides an opportunity for others to do something kind. Most people want to help others so to keep them from doing that is depriving them. Why be mean? Why not let them feel good about themselves?

The pooling of resources, though, is going to benefit all parties and who knows what great ideas might come out of it?

Wouldn’t it be great if you asked someone for help and/or advice and it turned out better than you ever thought it could? How special that would be.

It’s important to realize that it’s not weakness to ask and once you accept that, it can become easier and easier the more you feel excited about doing so.
