"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm."
Sam Levenson
If we give up too easily or turn to others for a rescue, we are giving up our power. Our personal power is to be used in spite of the challenges that arise before us. We underestimate our ability, accompanied by feelings of being overwhelmed, forgetting that whatever comes to the surface, teaches us.
Life is not a game of dodge ball. If we duck or side step, we may have safe space, but the lesson will return. Perhaps it will be disguised as something else, but avoiding an issue will not allow us a free pass. If anything, a simple lesson may turn into a major crisis to finally get our attention.
The lessons in life can empower us as they are not intended to crush us. If we believe, we are more apt to succeed. "He who helps himself first" will gather enough strength to not only face personal disappointments, but to stretch his or her hand out to help another.
