Everyone in this World requires help. Take any aspect of life; it operates on the principles of Help – Give and Get. Did you know that, when you REALLY need help, you will SURELY get it! That’s the law of nature. But the usual thought process that accompanies each one of us is that – in our moments of need we always turn towards people whom we had lent a helping hand in the recent past. This fallacy clouds our judgment. They may not at all be the right people who can help us for that particular task, but we aren’t able to look beyond them. They may not be at all equipped to help us in the manner that we want and therefore no help comes from their quarters. In such a scenario we even risk losing the personal relationship built over a period of time as it’s a set of wrong expectations. You need to have faith and work with open mind to sense the help which might be your way from a source you least expected… If you are wondering how true this could be… Let me HELP you with the HELP of this famous poem ‘I Had a Dream’ One night I had a dreamI was walking along the beach with my Lord.Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and the other to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only on set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I’m aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed You most, you leave me. He whispered, My precious, precious child, I love you and will never leave you never, ever during your times of trial and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints It was then that I carried you. – Margaret Fishback Powers Like the above powerful analogy, we will receive help even without knowing, we are doing so. All we have to do is to keep our heart open. Keep GIVING when others need it. You will GET it when you really need it Naveen Lakkur image courtesy: www.theweightlosstips.co.uk
