Help

.
We all need a little help at times. Whether it is talking with a friend; bouncing ideas of someone we trust, or help carrying the bagged groceries out of the store and into the car, to name a few…

In reality these are simple examples; often the help we need is in much more dire situations ~ and many a time we may find it harder to ask for, or even accept help in such situations.
There are many reasons why we feel it is hard to ask for help when we need it. Part seems to be that we feel it is up to us to solve the mess we have gotten ourselves into. Another part might be that we feel somewhat ashamed for having gotten ourselves into that mess… We should have known better; we should have made different choices; we should have done better, wiser, more productive, more prudent things ~ in essence telling ourselves that it is our fault to have gotten where we are and therefore it is up to us to get ourselves out of it.

Independent from our feelings about asking for the help we need, there are usually people around us ~ friends, family ~ who see our struggle and would so like to help… Who would love to tell us what the roadblock we have run into really is ~ as they are looking from the outside in, and can see with much more clarity what is truly going on…

There are many reasons why those who need help, and those who are eager to help cannot come together. Not in the least because the way we are walking our own, individual paths ~ and are handling the roadblocks we may encounter while doing so ~ is how we learn our life lessons. This means that if we solve another person’s problems for them ~ without giving them chance to understand why they ran into a roadblock in the first place ~ we are robbing them of their personal growth.

The one thing we can always do to help is to send love and Light to the person we are so eager to help. Without conditions; just the energy in such a way that they can use it as they see fit ~ whether that is in what we perceive is the right direction, or not.

The one thing that is not helping in any way is to keep sending ‘wise quotes’, and beautiful ‘feel good’ pictures to the person ~ creating an environment that says that it is okay for them to be in that place, that situation, that roadblock that they have ran into.
