The word support is commonly understood that we are not alone during our time in need. On a collective scale there are aiding groups throughout the world assisting others in their desperate times of need by helping in supplying food, shelter or medical attention and the list goes on.

Most of us willingly offer our help and in doing so we help create a world where we feel safe and show each other we care. However some of us sometimes feel too proud, ashamed or afraid to ask for or accept any help even if we are in danger. We may have grown up in an environment where those closest to us refused to reach out when they themselves needed help. Perhaps you may have heard them say, “Nobody will ever help me and I have to do this all by myself."

There is always abundant love and support available for us and when it is offered we may not be willing to accept it even though in our heart we know how much we really need it. Perhaps we feel too obligated in returning the help or we may believe we don't deserve it. Imagine how different life would be if we could say, “I know life can be difficult at times but there is always someone who is willing to help me."

If we limit ourselves in believing nobody will help us then it will prevent us from reaching out easily and being able to notice the help which is available. If you need help and feel you don't know how to ask for it, listen to your heart and know that you are truly worthy and deserving of having support. Recognise you are helping yourself in accepting help into your situation.

Support contributes to keeping a structure in place between people to share and we do so in many ways; be this emotional, material or spiritual. People feel happy knowing they can offer to provide a happier foundation for another and sometimes faith is all the support which is needed. In accepting support we are allowing for this to happen.

"We feel lonely when we build walls instead of bridges between one another " - axiom

Our lives are connected by many invisible threads of kindness and compassion and along these threads our actions run as causes and simply return to us as results. If there is kindness in our thoughts we can create profound meaning. If there is kindness in our words we can create confidence and if there are actions of kindness in giving, we can create love.
