How To Be Okay Asking For Help
We are here to help each other thrive. What does it take for you to feel ready to ask for help? What stops you from asking when you could benefit from help? Recognizing the roots of our hesitation helps us to examine if these roots are sensible or fear-based. Then, we can release the fear and receive the help that can make all the difference.

One of the biggest challenges that people face when they want to be seen as a leader or an authority is asking for help.
And that's because we are sometimes ingrained to feel like if we ask for help,
We're weak.
Sometimes that is a fear that people have that stops them from asking for help.
Oh,
People will think that I'm weak or I'm imperfect,
I'm vulnerable,
Or I don't know what I'm doing or any kind of thing like that.
I don't want to be asked for help.
I want to be the helper.
Then people see me as,
You know.
Important and and useful valuable and so there's this stigma that's just deep in the subconscious of many people that asking for help makes you look weak That's untrue.

And there's always someone that you can help.
And there's always someone that can help you.
And when we help each other,
We thrive better.
