From Vulnerability to Victory: The Power of Accepting Help
By Erika Brooks
Many of you may not know this, but I am fiercely independent. One of my weaknesses has been not wanting to ask for help or appear “weak.” I have often been the person who would search the internet to fix something myself instead of calling a repair person or asking a friend for help. I would stay up late working on projects instead of assigning tasks to people who had offered to assist me. In my mind, I told myself, “I didn’t want to bother anyone,” “I could handle it,” or other phrases that sounded good at the time. Although I would get things done, I often felt frustrated, exhausted, or worn out when finished.
