There Is No Shame in Asking For Help
There is no shame in asking for help.
We live in community, and at the core of a successful community are relationships built upon networks of interdependence. Yet, for so many, asking for help is hard.
We are bombarded by images of how to raise our children to be independent, but independence does not mean solitary. The secret no one shares is that knowing how and when to ask for help is a sign of true developmental maturity.
There is no shame in asking for help.
Practice Makes Better
I have often used the phrase, "Everything I need to know I
learn from Facebook." While a bit of a play on "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," I
really can learn quite a lot from quick scrolls through my news-feed a
couple of times each day.
Sometimes I learn of a challenge a friend is going through
so I can offer support.
Sometimes I learn of a great accomplishment and can share in
the pride.
