I Can Take Care of Myself...With a Little Help From My Friends!

This entry was posted on 6/20/2007 10:01 AM and is filed under uncategorized.

I tend to be one of those fiercely independent kind of people. Over the years, stomping my foot like a two year old in a huff and putting on my own shoes, has quite often left me with my shoes turning in the wrong direction! But that didn't make it any easier to ask for help.

Somehow, I got it in my mind that needing help is a sign of weakness, or laziness, or craziness, or some kind of "...ness". And even when I longed for someone to just step in and take care of me...I just couldn't do it. I couldn't ask. And if someone sensed my struggles and offered help...I'd often say, "No thank you...I can manage." And then panic because I didn't know how I would. So by the time I finally asked for help...I was helpless and felt like a failure.

Bertha and I were discussing that just this morning. I've found myself in a situation and really do need some assistance...and yet...I have totally avoided asking. Here's what Bertha had to say about it...she always has something to say!

Anyway, Bertha said that from a Law of Attraction standpoint the more I 'push against' help...the more I find myself in situations where I need it.

Well, that didn't make a lot of sense to me because I thought Law of Attraction was like attracts like.

Bertha agreed that it is...but it's like vibration attractions like vibration...and that from a vibrational standpoint...resisting help and needing help are a perfect match.

Who knew? Well obviously Bertha did and thankfully she told me! But the most important thing...what do I do about it?

Bertha said that I just needed to get really clear on what I want...and to thank the Universe for sending it to me in whatever way it shows up. That simple. She said that when I attract help from some one else...they are just being the Universe's hands and feet...

So...today...I put on my big girl panties...and did what I should have done months ago...I asked for help...and it was so much easier than I thought it could be! And yes, I got the help I needed.

What about you...are you still tripping over those shoes on the wrong feet? What kind of help could you say, "Yes!" to today?
