Asking for help.

Asking for help is a generous act. Even though it might not feel like one in the moment.

It creates connection and possibility. It allows the other person to show up and do something meaningful. It strengthens and compounds the relationship.

We live in a culture where trying to do everything by ourselves is looked up to. But that creates more isolation and loneliness.

The more generous person is the one who initiates asking for help because they create the opportunity for the other to reciprocate.
