Accept Help

Ever been in a situation where you need help? Of course you have. You’re not superman. (Heck even he’s looked to help from his friends on occasion.) But the point is, we’re all human. No one’s perfect. And by that logic we’re gonna need assistance sometimes. And thankfully, many people in life are gonna be happy to help. The problem arises when people either refuse to admit to themselves they need help, or are too proud to accept it. Think about it, if you’re struggling with a subject in school it might be kind of embarrassing to go to the teacher after class and ask for extra help. While that’s true, things only get to you if you let them. Again, no one is perfect! You need to put your pride aside for the moment and focus on what’s important; what’s best for you.

You're not going to get better at things or overcome obstacles in life without help. If you seek out aid from your teacher, boss, coach or whomever it may be, I guarantee they’ll be happy to assist you because it’s in their best interest for you to succeed as well. Rather than walking away, denying your problem or choosing to not care about it at all, asking for help is tackling the issue head on. And it takes a certain amount of bravery to learn how to do this. It shows that you’re motivated and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. So remember boys, no matter what the task is, no matter what difficult things you may be going through, no one can go at it alone. Look to those in your life who are important to you such as your friends and family for help when you need it. And be there for them in their time of need. Once you learn to do this rather than putting everything on yourself you’ll be more successful and happier (which often go hand in hand) As a wise songwriter once put it “We all need somebody to lean on.”
