Most of us like to be able to handle things on our own. As we grow up we depend on our parents to take care of us until it is time to “leave the nest”. As we grow older and mature, we do our best to take matters into our own hands. However, not everything we want can be handled by us alone. We ask for help.

How do you feel when you have to ask someone for their help? Unpleasant? You may even feel weak. We rarely think about how nice it is to be able to not ask for other people’s assistance.

Be proud when you can handle things on your own.

We never reflect how pleasant it is to ask for nothing.
~ Seneca
