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.
