Piece Number 1

Ask, and you shall receive because you are worthy.

How many of us ask for help? We spend our days doing, doing, and doing more. We do it all and then we volunteer to do more. Our “to do” list is never done. We find an eternal list of things to be done and needs to be met for everyone else. Do we ever stop to meet our own needs or do things for ourselves? Do we ever ask for anything from anyone else? Usually, we do not. Where did we learn this when we came into this life asking for everything without hesitation? Usually, we were taught this from those around us setting the example. For many of us, our own mothers did everything for everyone around us and we rarely witnessed them doing anything for themselves. So we learned that this was what we were supposed to do. Basically, we are worthy if we do for others.

Some of us may have learned this from our educational institutions. They teach that the more extracurricular activities you do and the more extra credit you can achieve the more worthy you are. We are praised for doing it all and encouraged to do even more. But what happens when we continually give what we have to the world around us? We eventually have nothing left for ourselves. Our wells run dry. The gas runs out. Our buckets get tipped over. We find ourselves tired and overwhelmed. We have nothing left and then we wonder why we feel so tired, angry and resentful at the endless amount of things to do, places to go, and goals to accomplish.

We need to learn to fill ourselves so that we can fill others in return. We need to remember to accept ourselves for who we are in all ways and every way. When we can begin to see that we are worthy. Worthy of being filled, worthy of love, worthy of everything the world has to offer and more then we can begin to understand that we are just as important as anyone else and anything else that needs to be done. Our needs are just as worthy of being met. There is healing power in the courage to ask and the ability to receive. Ask, and you shall receive. Give and you will be fulfilled. We can not do one without the other. We need help, we need each other.

A friend of mine once said that we are tribal beings needing each other. I have finally understood this to be true. When I am able to give to others I am filled just as much as when I balance this with receiving in return. In this idea we must trust that we will always be provided with exactly what we need. Many of us get caught up in the worry and the fear that there is never enough time, too much to do, and an endless amount of work. When simply what we need to do is enjoy ourselves and remember that anything is possible and all we have to do is ask for help in any and every way that is necessary to help us see that we can believe that anything is possible! Another words, all you have to do is ask and you shall receive. But be careful that you BELIEVE that it is possible. Which in turn means you must believe in yourself and truly accept all of you. You must love you. This is why we need each other; to help us believe in ourselves and see how truly miraculous each one of us is. I need you because you have much to teach me and you need me because I have much to teach you. We give to each other and we receive. We are humans needing to give and needing to receive. You are worthy of giving and oh so worthy of receiving. You are worthy of asking for help. You are worthy of having your needs met. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of abundance. Worthiness is loving yourself and loving each other at the same time. So next time you feel the need to ask for help, be it from a friend, a lover, the universe, or God, just believe that you are worthy to receive and ask. Just ask and you shall receive.
