Asking

You can think and think and think, or worry yourself to pieces, but when it comes down to it, you have to ASK for help in order to receive it, you have to ask for what you want, you have to ask for what you need.

I read a book by Martha Beck once where she was describing an incident where she was clearly very sick and needed help. She thought she was a little delirious because she saw all these shapes around her. Finally, in the sheer desperation she said, "Help me!" and her entire malady/situation shifted.

To me, this is a reminder that we don't have to get all the way to the point of desperation. Help is always there, we need only ask for it.
