The sun sets on another day…
As night fell, so in clouds across the horizon. I caught a brief glimpse of the sun a little earlier that I have included as today’s picture. It may not be as pretty as many, but it was a good sunset.
I find myself in amazement at all of the things that people can do together. A person can do something and get some things done promptly. With the right people, almost anything is possible with the right motivation.
Tonight my kids were at my daughter’s house, and there was a large task to complete. This task would be daunting any other time, but six of us were adults and capable of healthy for the large tarp. What took hours a year ago took minutes tonight, and when it was done, everybody looked at each other and noted how much easier everything had been. It’s not as if the task was any different. It was just that the right people made the job inconsequential and almost ridiculously easy.
This raises a good question when you need help, do you ask for it? Would you happen to have the presence of mind to realize that you need help? When something needs to get done, are the right people available to get that job done quickly? It seems like this is a series of straightforward questions, but sometimes we need to ask for help. I know it can be challenging.
Years ago, I was too proud to ask for help, which cost me dearly. Who knows where I would be right now if not for a Samaritan? Instead, someone offered and gave service freely, and as I exited that situation, I realized what an idiot I had been. What is hard for one person can be easy for many.
So as the sun sets on another day, isn’t it time you asked for help? Isn’t it time that we all embrace our limitations and take everything to the next level? Isn’t it time we all realized how great it was to have someone else help us? You know, I think it is. Take a moment and make a pact never to let yourself be backed into a corner again. Help is out there. You just asked for it, and with that in mind, you can always succeed, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and keep being awesome…
