Words from the website:"Whether we ask for it or not life has in store for us an abundance of challenges. As long as we are trying we will never fail. As long as we believe in our ability to overcome - we will succeed. Though there is one thing we should learn how to do and it is to allow ourselves to get help.
Getting help from a friend or a kind person is not failure, it is the means to success.
Every problem has its solution and some problems can be solved only by mutual work. Getting help doesn’t mean we are unable to solve the problem. It merely means we have identified the solution and it includes another person in it."
Thoughts:Life certainly can be challenging in so many different ways. The mind and spirits ability to cope with these challenges can fluctuate a great deal. What I can cope with one day may set me into a black mood of despair - all tearful and filled with sorrow. This is just one important reason to keep my roots down and to make sure I protect myself spiritually. I no longer do my EFT to clear myself of the days unwanted memories/ occurances. I keep making promises to myself that I will as I
know it helps me alot. Getting help from a friend is a sign of success, but before I can take this step I need to be able to help myself a lot more than I currently do!
Recently I did seek help from friends though. Well, I didn't seek help so much as send a plea to them: "I've done something stupid...say something to help me feel better" was the kind of thing. The trouble with pleas like this is it is not a request for help btu more me asking for help burying my head in the sand. Like a ture friend Laura didn't do that. She forced me to see the things I was doing, said things I didn't want to hear and really made me think about things. At the time it made me feel even more lost and upset, but I knew that it was what I needed to her - the truth. Its ironic how often the truth is the one thing we are all striving to escape from!
