“Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it” Another great quote from Professor Dumbledore. This one was first mentioned in the Chamber of Secrets as a hint for Harry to ask for help. (Spoilers) Sure enough, during the showdown in the chamber, Harry gets help from Fawkes the Phoenix, the school sorting hat, and ultimately even pulls out the Sword of Gryffindor.
In life it may not be as dramatic but you may be surprised at just the amount of help you can get if only you just ask.
We’re conditioned to not ask for help. Maybe it’ll make us look weak. Or stupid. But when it really comes down to it, what’s the absolute worst thing that can happen?
The answer is no? Well, it would have been no if you didn’t ask, so there’s no real loss there.
You get made fun of? Who cares what that person or those people think? If they are critical of someone asking for help, then they’re really not worth your time.
It’s time we uncondition ourselves out of the fear for asking for help. Just ask for it.
