You may find that you need a little support today, but your pride might cause you to resist asking for help. Perhaps you need advice regarding a situation that has been troubling you. You may even need emotional or financial support. If you can remember that all of us need help from time to time, you can release your misgivings and reach out to someone you trust to ask for assistance. Accepting their help benefits them also, because they will likely feel touched that you trusted them enough to turn to them for support. If you find that despite your best efforts you are still struggling with the idea of asking for help, it might benefit you today to consider how you would feel if someone you love asked you for assistance.

By letting go of our pride and asking for help when we need it, we empower ourselves. Many of us resist asking for help because we don't want to impose on others, or we feel that needing help from others is a sign of weakness. If we can realize that being able to ask for help is a sign of inner strength, we can feel better about seeking support from others. It takes courage to ask for help. Most often, people in life are happy to help us -- if we are brave enough to ask them. Let go of your pride and ask for help when you need it today, and you will empower yourself and give people the opportunity to help you.
