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.
