MONTHLY THOUGHT
How are you at asking for help?
In my Keynote Concert presentation, “Small Steps Big Life”, I talk about 4 Small Steps that help us to live a Big Life.
Asking For Help is the 2nd Small Step – and the one that I’ve found to be the most challenging.
Something that’s helping me to change that point of view is to notice how I feel when someone asks ME for help.
Has anyone ever asked YOU for help? Didn’t it feel good to be able to share your expertise with them?
Doesn’t it make sense, then, to think that others will feel good when they get to help you?
SO… with gratitude and curiosity… I say YES to ASKING FOR HELP.
AND, I say YES to GIVING more help too. (I want to explore BOTH sides of this Small Step!)
My dear friend Karen Drucker has a great song about getting more by giving more.
It’s called “More=Give”, and you can listen to it here. May it serve you well:

How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s most resonating in YOU these days?
WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at nathenaswell@me.com; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other.
(BIG THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)
