Asking For Nothing
"We never reflect on how pleasant it is to ask for nothing."
~Seneca~
It can be very unpleasant to ask others for the things we need. Often what we ask for is given freely and with love, but we are still uncomfortable asking for it. We tend to feel weak or inferior when we have to ask others for help.
What we rarely think about, though, is how pleasant it is not to ask for someone else's help. Not needing is a good feeling, but not needing to ask may be an even better feeling.
I will not be embarrassed about asking for help when I need it, but I will also appreciate the times when I don't have to ask for anything.
My thoughts: I think that the heart of this post is really saying this: "Trust yourself." You should know when you need help, and when you don't. Ya know? Don't be too proud to ask for help when you need it, but trust yourself that you can rely on yourself to get things done. I think this post should have more emphasis on the idea that it IS actually okay to ask for help. Too much of our society is closed off in a personal endeavor mental attitude, and I think it actually hinders progress versus help it. We are stronger together. Don't be afraid to ask for help :D Have a wonderful day!
