Ego:”Don’t Ask For Help, I Can Do It”

Asking for help is the first step to healthy living.

By admitting to our friends that we don't know what we should do about the many confusing, sometimes scary circumstances in our lives, we open the door for our Higher Power to reach us. That's often the way help comes to us. At times we'll open a book and an inspiring passage will jump out, or we'll wake up feeling as if God has answered us in our dreams. But more frequently and vividly, our help is in the gentle words of a friend.

Many of us postponed getting help because we dreaded asking for it. We thought that asking for help would make us look weak and uninteresting. We so wanted to be liked and admired that we pretended all was well, while in reality all was awful. It's a profound relief to share our burdens with other people. And the best part is, we'll get needed guidance.

In looking at a “Creative Process for Life Recovery” we knew the chief stumbling block for most people is simply being humble enough to ask for help. A paradox, in admitting we can’t do it alone leads to getting it done. Admitting our weakness is an act of courage. As Tolle points out, conscious ego is often a huge road block to living a life we truly want.

A holistic approach to life recovery does have a spiritual component, and this is aided by the mere admission that we, alone, cannot find all the answers. We are not all powerful. Answers and direction come from different places at different times. Often, when sought, they are within.

We need help to search for and recognise the answers.

A joyous, abundant and happy life, by anyone’s definition of what that may be, cannot come without healthy living. The first step to healthy living is asking for help. The “Co-Creative Process of Life Recovery” is designed to give help to those who seek.
