Always feeling
self-sufficient and responsible for taking care of self can prove challenging
in a situation in which we have to rely & depend on others. We make things
worse either by trying to do more than we should or by feeling useless and run
the risk of actually prolonging our dependency. Our ego holds us from accepting
the situation fully as it is thus generating a feeling of vulnerability and
unhappiness. It is advisable to surrender to our own helplessness, accept with
humility own limitations & let go of our feeling that we should be able to
do it all by ourselves. Endeavor must be to seek and accept help of others
with a positive attitude and optimistic
thinking that change is inevitable for
the sake of own health, happiness and internal satisfaction. The experience of
being helped generates a deep feeling of gratitude; acceptance of others for
what they are; motivation to be much more compassionate and derive internal
satisfaction by doing good to others without any expectations in return.
