“What is the bravest thing you’ve ever said? asked the boy.

Help,’ said the horse.

Asking for help isn’t giving up,’ said the horse. ‘It’s refusing to give up.

These are the lines from one of the cutest book yet most inspiring books I have read “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse

We often see people asking for help as a bad thing but to be honest, it is not.

People who seek help actually are not willing to give up, they want to make things happen, and they want to create a difference.

Asking for help is anytime better than just sitting there and complaining blaming that “Why does it happen with me, only”

It takes courage to ask for help, asking for help indicates you are showcasing to the world a vulnerable side and trust me it is not at all easy.

When you ask for help, you are being courageous and overcoming your vulnerabilities and if you do that, pat on your back and be proud of yourself for doing so.

So next time someone asks for help, if you can’t help them from your side, at least not mock them or criticize it.

You don’t completely understand the back story of the other person.

Thank you for patiently reading this.

Let me know in the comments what you think.
