180 - Ask For Help

Published: March 29, 2021, 7 a.m.

\u201cDon\u2019t be ashamed to need help. Like a soldier storming a wall, you have a mission to accomplish. And if you\u2019ve been wounded and you need a comrade to pull you up? So what?\u201d\n\n\u2014 Marcus Aurelius \n\nThe Stoics teach us that we\u2019re part of the human community, that we\u2019re here to help and support our fellow humans. We are social animals, and as much as we may think that we are independent, we\u2019ve thrived as humans because of our cooperation. None of us can survive just on our own. We rely on each other in a very interconnected society. \n\nSo why is it SO hard to ask for help?
