To as many who genuinely needs help in other to move to the next phase, may your heart desire(s) be fulfilled.
It is believed by many that you should ask for help whenever you need one. However, it can be tough for some individuals.
To mention a few, here are some observations.
Reasons for refusing to ask for help
• Fear of getting a “No” as response.
• Fear of being mocked by one’s current condition.
• Not having trusted fellows within your circle.
• Assumption that the other party doesn’t have.
Reasons some do not get helped
• Thinking too highly of oneself (pride).
• Failing to admit that it’s not one’s right but a privilege.
• Ingratitude for the previous ones received.
• Inability to politely make a request (taking one for granted).
Reasons for not lending a helping hand
• Bad experiences related to various helps rendered in the past.
• Inadequacy of resources.
• Bitterness of struggles in time past.
• Egocentric (thinking about oneself only).
PS: Undoubtedly, life is like a two-sided coin. Endeavour to treat everyone that comes your way with respect.
