I used to try to do everything myself, on my own. I thought it made me brave and invincible. I thought I could do anything, and I should. When people would ask me if I needed help, I would immediately say no (with emphasis). I was stubborn and thought it made me weak to let people in, and share my burden. I was wrong.
I really enjoy helping people. It makes me happy. And I started to realize that when people offer to lend a hand, I should say "yes" back. Why not?
*Note: that doesn't mean I'll take advantage of folks and never be resourceful on my own. We still have to take care of our own lives for the most part.
