Oh, it's impossible to overstate the importance of Action 027 - Ask For Help. Maybe it's an easy request, like asking a friend to pick you up or drop you off somewhere. Maybe it's something bigger, like helping you move to a new home or lending you money. And maybe it's the biggest request of all, asking a friend to listen to you as you share the details of a personal struggle.
Whatever the need, it won't go away. I know that. And when I have exhausted my own resources and knowledge base, I need to remember that friends are friends for a reason. They care about me and want to help. Shutting them out does more than just deny me the help I need. It shows a lack of respect for the friendships I have.
As I go through the next three months, preparing for a full marathon while sorting out what seems like an endless avalanche of personal garbage, I know there will be times that I will need help. And I am giving myself permission to ask for it.
