Help Is Found Where It Is Needed To Be Found.

You know I am a big believer of the fact that, we do need help every once in while and that ninety percent of the time we have to ask for the help that we need. There's nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it.But then where do we draw the line and realise that the help we are getting is simply making us dependent on someone else and that it is time to stand up and help ourselves. A lot of times in life YOU will have to help yourself-maybe because no one else is there to lean on, or because you are the only one who truly understands the situation at hand. Whatever the reason there may be many a times in your life where you will simply have to be your own hero.

For example: A few years back I thought that asking for help or rather needing help is a sign of weakness. Something that I thought I could never afford to be: Weak. But then I realised that everyone needs a little help from time to time, that I didn't always have to be so put together and strong and that it was okay to tell people how I felt.. I still remember the very first time that I told anyone how I felt, how I really felt and how much it hurt sometimes. I felt as if someone had taken a huge weight off of my shoulders. I think, that was one of the bravest things I've ever done in my life:deciding to seek help, to let someone close to me see me for who I am, without all the gloss, understanding that maybe the person may not be there for me tomorrow, but that it was high time and that if we were to be friends then it was all or nothing. He had to take the good with the bad. And frankly that was one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

But then a few months back I realised that I was seeking or rather trying to seek a little too much of help. I was constantly waiting for someone else to come along and take the load off of my chest and be my hero, until I realised that it was upto me to deal with my own problems and that sometimes in life there isn't really anyone there who can help you the way you want them to.

At such times in life you have to be able to look to yourself for the help you seek.
