Take it from someone who has been doing things on their own and not asking anyone for any help whatsoever. I am not sure if it is because we are too prideful, embarrassed, or just can't bring ourselves to do it, but we should stop.

I myself am one to talk-- I do not ask for help of any kind. I am too prideful, I have lived a life that has taught me to make the most of what I have. I am a person you could say "has to get it out the mud". The people who are closest to me know that I struggle and go behind me and help me out anyway. I appreciate them for that, I make sure they know that I am glad to have them in my life. I could not bring myself to reach out to anyone and ask for a helping hand.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, though. I will be working on myself and try to be more willing to let people help me. Never be too prideful. In the most recent months of my life, I have received the biggest help ever to help a young man who was my brother. He was a person who needed saved from a situation. I was not too prideful to ask for help to lend a hand to someone in need.

This was a big eye-opener for me. This one lesson alone taught me that in order to get things done, you may not be able to handle things alone. I'm not saying that you should go around and ask everyone to help you in life. I am saying that you should try to handle the things life throws at you on your own-- it builds character. The people who have been through the most struggles know how to get through the ones that come after.

Always try to do things on your own first, fail if you have to. When you have exhausted all your efforts, do not be afraid to turn to someone and ask for ideas, or even the answer to your situation. We all are strong individuals, but we can bring people together and make a strong force of allegiance with other people as well. Together, everyone achieves more.
