“You need to ask for help so we can use the funds as designed. There have been cases where people have had personal crisis situations and not reached out. When I asked why, they were too proud to seek help. Let me give you a newsflash. Every one of us needs help. The only question is when. Please let Hands That Give fulfill its mission. Yes, it is often personal. Life is that way. Get over it and let people who care help you.”

I received the above as part of a message yesterday and thought I would share.

We have a tendency to hold on to our problems and not ask for help. Sometimes taking responsibility for ourselves and our actions means asking for help, not keeping it all bottled up inside.

One of the most interesting things that I got from reading the Go Giver the first time was the concept that in order to be part of the giving process you must also be willing to receive.

If you need help with something ask for help.

Need help getting started on an exercise program….find a workout buddy.

Need help with monthly budget….find a trusted advisor to go over it every month.

Need help making better food choices….find someone else trying to do the same and eat with them regularly.

Need someone to talk to….just start talking.

I love the last line above.

Get over it and let people who care help you.

Make it a great day.
