how can i help?

Four words, packed with power.

If you can offer these words wherever you go, you will be well off.

People believe that holding on to their wealth, emotions, talents, energy is the way; but it is not.

Enter any room, find a person who looks even slightly bogged down (RPE 6 or higher 😉) and pitch this line to them: “How can I help?”

If the person denies your help, ok.
If the person accepts you help, ok.

To offer your wealth, emotions, talents, and energy is the way.

Although some of us (myself included 🙋🏻‍♀️) grew up driven to be super independent, self-sufficient, capable of doing it all on her own, help (getting the shivers just thinking about it), is huge. In fact, it is vital.

I mean that in a real life, evolutionary sense.

We are social creatures, meant to work together in teams.

Travel half way across the world (from the US that is…hi, subconscious geo-centric mind 🤣), and people are living in community where this question is implicitly sprinkled across the culture. The roots have been fed the question: “how can I help?” and the offspring grow up looking to help one another.

There is an ego-less feature to this.

To offer a hand.
To hold the door open.
To open your ears to another’s voice.
To hug a fallen soldier.
To lift up some of the heavy stuff for a chronic lifter.

Return to this country (US, again), and people are pretty comfortable in their mini-human silos, intensely and intently focused on getting it done on their own: SOLO SILOS.

Listen to Miley Cyrus’ latest hit and you will get it in a single song:

she can buy herself flowers, hold her own hand, talk to herself for hours, take herself dancing…

And listen…I think all that is great and vital, too. But without the helping one another piece, we are bereft. We are not living full human lives!

Every day can be a dance with others.
Every day can reveal a new open door.
Every day can be a storytelling, story-sharing event.
Every day can be a day you feel embraced and loved, held and accepted.
Every day can be a day you feel light right where you are.

Wherever you are, wherever you go: consider the question: “How can I help?”

And on a closing note, I would love to hear from you, the clients and readers: How can I help you?
