Putting my ego aside to ask others for help still doesn't come naturally, so I've made it a part of my Tenth Step inventory, asking, "Have I failed to ask for help when I needed it today?"
I am astonished how often the answer is yes.
Not asking, it seems, is a deeply ingrained trait, as most of my character defects are.
But the rewards of asking for help -- increased humility, connection, and trust -- are well worth the effort.
- AA Grapevine, April 2011, p. 21
Simply asking for help seems to be a help in itself.
We cannot change the directions of the wind, but we can adjust our sails. Have a beautiful day unless you plan otherwise. ... B-)
