NO SHAME IN NEEDING HELP

“Don’t be ashamed of needing help. You have a duty to fulfill just

like a soldier on the wall of battle. So what if you are injured and

can’t climb up without another soldier’s help?”

—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.7

o one ever said you were born with all the tools you’d need to solve
every problem you’d face in life. In fact, as a newborn you were
practically helpless. Someone helped you then, and you came to understand
that you could ask for that help. It was how you knew you were loved.
Well, you are still loved. You can ask anyone for help. You don’t have to
face everything on your own.
If you need help, comrade, just ask.
