• Willingness To Strength

  The willingness to be helpful goes a long way.

  As you go through life, you will see the people around you struggle.

  They will go through hardships, challenges, and difficulties.

  Sometimes you can help them, but other times you cannot.

  This may be because you do not have the resources to do so.

  Perhaps they do not want your help.

  Or maybe there is simply nothing that can be done.

  Your presence, in these instances, may be all you have to offer.

  You can be there for and through the struggle, willing to help in any way you can, even if you can’t.

  This willingness is not a hollow sentiment.

  If you mean it, it means something.

  It matters.

  Your presence and your willingness matter.

  In fact, sometimes your presence and willingness to help may be the thing that gives the other person the strength to survive hardship, to overcome challenges, and to push through difficulty.

  Your willingness can become someone else’s strength.

• Willing To Be Helped

  Let people help you.

  You do not have to struggle by yourself.

  You are not alone.

  There are people who have been where you are, who are on the other side of whatever you are going through, who want to help you overcome whatever challenges you are currently facing.

  Seek them out.

  Ask for help.

  Do not let pride, shame, prejudice, or insecurity block you from your potential.

  These attitudes only serve to keep you alone and afraid.

  Humility, openness, and compassion are your allies.

  WIth these on your side, you cannot fail as long as you are willing to do the work.

  Willingness goes a long way.

• You Are Resilient

  Do not underestimate your resilience, but do not overestimate it either.

  You are capable of surviving and overcoming much more difficulty and hardship than you can even imagine.

  You have the strength and ability to turn adversity even tragedy, into fuel for growth.

  However, there is only so much burden one person can or should bear before needing help.

  You are not alone and, no matter how it may feel at your absolute lowest, most desperate, and beaten down, there is hope and there is help.

  You are not meant to go through life’s difficulties on your own. None of us are. We all need help. We need each other.

  Knowing and accepting this fact is not weakness. We are more resilient together than we could ever be alone.

• Accepting Help

  One of the most important lessons we can teach our children is that we do not solve all of our problems on our own. 
  

  They need to understand that, quite often, we need help from others. 
  

  They also need to know that we are willing to ask for it when we do and that we are willing to accept it when it is freely offered. 
  

  We do not know everything, we cannot do everything, and we cannot be all things to all people. 
  

  Sometimes, we do our best and it is not good enough. 
  

  Sometimes, we do not have the knowledge, the skills, or the resources to accomplish whatever it is that we are trying to accomplish. 
  

  Our children need to see us not pretending. 
  

  They need to see that, as much as we try to be strong, self-sufficient, and resilient, we are also only human. 
  

  As such, we are flawed, we are fragile, and we rely on other people in our lives, people we respect, trust, and care about, to be strong where we are weak. 
  

  We work together with others to make better lives for ourselves and for each other. 
  

  They need to know this because it is important that they understand, when they need help, that it is okay to ask for it and it is okay to accept it. 
  

  They also need to know that when others ask for help, it is okay to give it.

• Helpful Purpose

  If we help everyone except for those who need it most, are we truly being helpful? 
  

  It is easy to help people who are easy to help. 
  

  It is no great feat to give our assistance or our attention to others when it is convenient to do so, when it requires little of us, and when what we are giving is superficial or insubstantial. 
  

  This is not really helpful. 
  

  This is not really giving. 
  

  If we truly want to be helpful, if we truly want to be generous, there must first be a need. 
  

  Additionally, we must also have something to offer. 
  

  We must be capable of helping. 
  

  It is this intersection of another person’s need and our capability that we will find our unique purpose.
