“How many things do we lose out of fear of losing.” Paulo Coelho

“How many things do we lose out of fear of losing.” Paulo Coelho Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is being aware of our limits. It's showing that we are human that we need support and that there is no problem with that, because we need a hand that helps us without criticism, but with empathy. It is necessary to know how to ask for help, but do not despair when the journey is difficult, it is a sign that we are on the right path. “The righteous way is always the right way.” (Jewish Texts) We have to believe that talking is the way. Even if it is to make the decision that we want to be alone, or alone accompanied. We were educated to be silent, to accept, but when we don't react, anxiety, stress, loneliness and depression grow. Let's talk, and let's talk more and more. But let's not forget, as Paulo Coelho said: "Being silent does not mean not speaking, but opening your ears to listen to everything around us." Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is a sign that we are strong, confident and mature. We know what we need and we are not afraid to look for it. We can benefit greatly from this help. Whenever we need to ask for help, we don't need to feel fear or shame. Thus, we can say that asking for help is an act of humility and courage, because, moreover, we recognize the value of other people and fight against the usual pressure in relation to the idea of being self-sufficient. As Thomas Edison said: “Our greatest weakness is in giving up. The surest way to win is to try again, and again, never give up.”
