Ask for help!!!

Do you remember what life was likefore Google Maps and smartphones?

Think back to when you were travelling to a destination you had never been before. You would've had some directions prior to setting out. However, 7 times out of 10 you'd still stop a complete stranger and ask for directions just to make sure your on the right path or because the directions and your current location weren't quite matching up. Most of the people you stopped and asked for directions probably hadn't even been to your destination but they were familiar with the area making it possible to give enough guidance to at least get you to the next checkpoint. 

How many times has a stranger asked you for directions to a place you had never been to before but your area knowledge enabled you to help them?
 Life's journey isn't much different. We're all heading to some destination of our choosing, and for most of us every step is unfamiliar territory. I believe that success is easier when you know where you're going. This doesn't imply that you know the exact route to get there but it does mean that you have clarity about where you're going and possibly an idea on how to get going. Having a definite goal or purpose in life makes it a lot easier to ask for directions.

We all need a little guidance from time to time, which is why you can't be shy to ask for directions. I think it's safe to say most people are not heading to the same exact destination as you but are willing to point you in the right direction if you'd just ask.

Many of us tend to discard whether the person standing next to us has knowledge about how to move forward and instead continue along the lonely path in the hope that we will meet the person that has been exactly where we want to go. In my experience that person is hard to come by so it's best ask more people who are going your way about the next step, as they probably have some knowledge that can assist you on your journey.

 

Conversations with the most unexpected people will often spark ideas and solutions to your current problems.   So if you ever find yourself slightly lost or stuck in unfamiliar territory don't be afraid to ask someone for directions. I'm always willing to lend a helping hand whenever I can and I know there are many others willing to do the same.

It's not a weakness to ask for help or assistance. The ability to humble yourself and seek help/assistance, or ask for direction or toturial is actually a strength and it will propel you further.

When you are at a crossroad, ask for direction. Remember God sends men to help us a lot. So let's receive them.

And when someone asks for your help or you just know someone needs assistance, don't hesitate to lend an helping hand. It has been said that  "A giving hand never lacks"

 

MUCH LOVE.
