Be the help

You could wish, beg, demand for help to be on the way. Or you can choose to be the help that is so desperately called for.

It’s fine to seek assistance, to offer it as well, and great when you’re able to do so. Yet it can be dangerous to assume such assistance will always be available.

Driving on a lonely road at night, it’s good to have a spare tire and know how to put it on. Even though you hope you won’t need it, a little effort to be prepared could make a big difference.

Before you get yourself in a potentially risky situation, ask yourself. What steps can you take to be well prepared for the possibility that help might not be available?

Confidence is often seen as mere bravado. Yet true confidence is knowing you can call upon yourself when there’s no one else to bail you out.

Even when you don’t need it at the moment, self sufficiency is always good to develop and maintain. There could come a situation where it’s your only option.
