Help!

I love to help people a lot. I go out of my way to help people. However, I do go out of way to avoid asking people for help. I don't want to inconvenience anyone. I put a barrier around myself. I begin to seclude myself, and think no one will help me. But I simply need to ask. This has been something that I have had a hard time with.

Especially, when I know I need help. Not to mention all the people who have said, that they are willing to help. It's just so difficult for me, to ask for help. The irony of the helper afraid to ask for help. So while I was thinking about how I can improve this. I started to sing the lyrics to Help! by the Beatles, most of us know the song. But the lyrics ring true to me and my situation and attitude towards the whole thing.

Help! by The Beatles


Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

As I looked at the lyrics to this song. I realize I need to ask for help more. I have to go out of my way, to get help. I been humbled, by this is lesson that I'm learning. It will definitely be a process. But I'm willing to ask for help, no matter what my mind is telling me. Its imperative, that I get this down. In the future, this will come in handy. I know I will be asking for help for the rest of my life.

I better get use to it.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
