Never To Big To Ask For Help!

So, I got a call from a friend complaining about how she was treated after receiving help from a colleague at work.

She was very upset that her colleague had gone around boasting about how she was a major factor in her (my friend) getting her promotion and regretted taking her help.

My only reply to her was why? are you to big to ask for and receive help? To which she replied No. I then asked her whether the assistance she received was beneficial to her? To which she replied Yes. Her tone immediately changed and she calmed down when she realised she was the winner in the end!

Nugget for the day; Never get upset when people boast about helping you. You are never to big to ask  for or receive help. Keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused. Ask yourself, was the help i receive beneficial? If yes, keep calm and move forward!

Shake It Off!- Monday's Ramblings

An opinion is a view or judgement formed about something not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

The older I become the better I get in differentiating an opinion from truth. As i wrote in one of my previous posts, people will always try to tell you the right way to live your life, as if they were you. I am learning to take on positive opinions, evaluate them and see if there is any truth in it and if there is not, throw it out!

Fact is when someone says they have a problem with the way you do things, you must recognise they are the ones with a problem. The problem is not yours! You have a choice to assist or decline help in solving their problem. In so far as whatever and however you are doing what you are doing does not affect anyone negatively, their sleepless nights should not be your problem.

Always evaluate yourself; If you believe they are right, then improve- Constructive criticism is good. However if after evaluating yourself you are confident you are doing what is right for you. The please let their opinion be their opinion. Leave it at that!
