Reaching

Probably the hardest thing for some is reaching out for help or support for guidance for advice. Why is that?

Some may say its fear to reach out, some may feel its a sign of weakness.  My opinion is like the quote above.  Be strong enough to stand alone and smart enough to know when we need help. Yes in fact it is bravery to ask for help.

My favorite line is "What is the alternative?"

Choose to be open to reaching out to others. 

Reach out for advice from a trusted friend or a stranger with expertise.

Reach out for another who just may need your smile or kind word of encouragement.

Reach out for the tools to do the job easier a sharper axe to chop a tree is better than a small dull saw.

Reach out for the walk in nature instead of isolation in your home.

It is indeed hard sometimes to reach out and even harder in social distance rules with the pandemic and all.  But know this, a simple question or act of kindness begins with a smile or a kind word or an inquisitive mind that says, what if?

Be the eyes and the ears for another but also be the voice of reason to ask for help when you need it.

Its not weakness it strength to know the time is now to ask for advice or help.

Because what is the alternative?

Ask and find out

Seek and you will be rewarded

Give thanks and it will be appreciated.

Embrace always, smile forever and share united.
