🌞”It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they WILL help us.” – Epicurus
I posted this quote in 2009. It’s funny to me how today it was just the quote my soul needed to hear, but then again God aligns my memories like this often so you’d think I’d be used to the lesson by now.
If you know me at all, you know I DO NOT like asking for anything. I’m sure it’s a flaw of some kind the whole “not letting someone be a blessing” thing but it makes me feel indebted and needy so I usually just hire it out or do it myself. But sometimes, it’s the someone who knows you the best and most you need by your side, so sometimes I have to ask for help.
The quote is correct… it’s not the favor, but the knowledge that who you’re asking it of will give you a solid yes. That selfless and loyal quality in a human is one of my favorite qualities and, as their friend, it’s one of my favorite emotions.
🥂 Cheers and blessings over all of the high quality friends I have in my life who have shown up and shown out for me lately. Your loyal generosity or time and effort is empowering.
