I am humble enough to seek help when I need it

I bear a large load of responsibilities on my shoulders that I complete with joy. When my load becomes too heavy and I need to reach out for help, I shake off the ego that binds me to my pride and frees myself to accept help from others. 

There is a limit to what I can do - a fact I accept with humility.

 Asking for the help of others takes a level of humility and courage I am capable of achieving. Life would be lonely and boring if I were able to do everything without needing anyone's help. When someone helps me, and I help someone else, I build community. 

By giving others an opportunity to help me, I benefit from their knowledge. 

I am still a success even if I occasionally seek the assistance of others. I refrain from beating myself up over having to use an extra pair of hands. Whether I am capable of performing a task or needing some help, I am still proud of who I am and the abilities I possess. 

Today, I make good use of my time by asking for help when I need it, instead of trying to do everything all by myself. I am part of a greater community with gifted people in a variety of areas. 


 Self-Reflection Questions:

 

1.     Why should I ask for help?

2.     How does asking for help benefit me?

3.     What tasks on my list would go smoother if I asked for help?

How to Streamline Your Daily Schedule and Increase Efficiency

 Do you usually feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to do? Sometimes it seems like the laundry or the dishes will just have to wait until later. I know for me, when I let things accumulate, I get overwhelmed, and then I either don't do anything at all, or I look for a distraction, usually food or shopping. The thing still doesn't get done, and it's a perpetual cycle.    That's why   as hard as it is, we must do things when we need to. Otherwise, they don't get done at all. Or we find ourselves having to do them when we truly don’t have the time for them. Then, inevitably, something else has to be put off.   This scenario also applies to work. When a project has a deadline, it’s important to devote all of your undivided attention to it, or it won't get completed. Time management is a critical aspect of every job – from planning to executing.   Your schedule needs to be structured to support efficienc...
