Just another day in the drivers seat of an "amazing" life! hehe. I did absolutely nothing most of the day. I did actually stay in bed because I did not feel too well. But then I decided that a little Benni Benassi would put my mind in the right place to do a little working out. Cut to 10:20 tonight and I went and saw The Fighter. It was a beautiful movie! Very wonderfully made with acting like I have not seen in quite a while, Christian Bale did a fabulous job!
Todays thought comes from right out of my amazing brain!! You can take this either as a spiritual meaning or just in day to day life. As being part of our worlds economical trouble, a lot of hard times have hit us. Most people to some extent or another have felt the affects of lost jobs, reposessed homes, reduction of pay, closing of companies, bankruptcy etc. There are very few people you could run into that have not seen some effect of our economy. Some families have turned to working 2 jobs or more, selling homes for apartments, postponing plans for school, etc. In some cases some families have taken another route such as asking for help. Most as for help from family, church, donation, welfare. As being someone who recently had to apply for unemployment I now understand. If you have been an indedependent person and have always made your own way in life, it can be very hard to ask for help. Most believe asking for help means admitting that you have failed or have done something wrong. Just ask your self for a moment how you view some of these situations.
You also can take this content and form it into a spiritual meaning. On a basic level and without being religion specific, just think of what your daily routine for beliefs follow. Most of us believe it is important to have faith and trust in our higher power. While most of us go about our day taking for granted what we have been given, we completely forget what a beautiful gift we have been given. At some point in our lives or another most of us will fall upon "hard times," During these times we forget that we have someone watching over us. If you are anything like me, I fall into a bad habit of only praying when you feel impressed to ask for something. For me this comes with a price of guilt. I hate taking my Heavenly Fathers love for granted and only returning a thank you when I have fallen upon hard times. Never the less, the prayer system has been put in place to give thanks and to ask upon for help. Again comes in the part where we feel a little prideful to ask for help. It will again force us to say out loud something that has gone wrong in our life.
"Just because you ask for help does not mean you have failed, it means your not in it alone."
We have been put here on this earth for other people for a reason. They are here for us and is why we have been given great family and friends. We need to realize that we as humans do not need help just when we have fallen upon hard times. We should go about every day asking for help and returning the help. We can always better our selves! In return for one favor and receiving of another, the task of asking for help when we need it will not be so hard. It is okay to turn to others and ask for help. It is what we call our support system. More than often you will find others are more than happy to help!
