How many times have we wished we had help? Someone to lend a hand and offer encouragement and support. LOVE. Why, do some of us have such difficulty asking for help when we need it? Do we fear it is a sign of weakness? Do we fear no one would step up to help? Are we afraid of rejection? Or, do we just prefer to be a martyr and go it alone? Whatever our reasons, we must learn to not only ask for help, we must be willing to accept that which is offered to us.
Personally, I have always preferred, the go it alone route. Why, you may ask? That is, a very good question. Of which, I am not sure the answer is a simple one. I am though going to try, to answer that….from my heart of course, and not that place where my EGO lives (in my head). The move from my head to my heart has been a journey that has often lead me back to my head, more than I would like to admit. Living from my heart has become easier lately and I have been living from that space more often then the other, which is a good thing. A very good thing.
Asking for help though, is still very difficult for me to do. Particularly, when it comes to friends and family. I really don’t have any trouble asking God/the Universe or my angels and guides for help and thankfully I always receive their help. Their help often turns out to be continual confirmation and affirmation that I am on the right path. They gently prod me onwards and upwards. Human help has been more difficult for me to accept. I suppose maybe, I’d prefer that people didn’t know that I ever needed help. Maybe, I want them to believe that illusion that I am always strong and brave. Nonsense Lisa!! What I really want them to know is, that I too am a mere mortal. I am human!! We all need help from time to time and we just need to be humble and honest enough to ask for it. There is no reason to fear. Fear casts dark clouds over LOVE. As I was writing about yesterday it is time to take off our masks, peel back the layers that have been weighing us down and get real. Enjoy the love that our family and friends and lots of times, even strangers offer us. The more we are willing to ask for and accept help the more we become a part of life. Going it alone is not noble or brave. It is more often then not the mask of our EGO that keeps us separate. Separate from self and others. Separate from God.
So my friends, thank you all so much for helping me accept the fact that I am indeed human and worthy and deserving of help. I am so grateful for your presence here as again it is confirmation that I am following the wisdom that I have always held hidden in my heart. I am a deserving and loving child of God and the Universe. We are all one and it is our duty to love and serve as our hearts guide us to do.
Ask, believe and receive!! To ask for help is my friends not a sign weakness..it is above all a great example of strength….and for some of us a very humbling experience.
So whenever anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, make sure that your hand is extended as an offering of love. Namaste, Lisa
