Ok, so here’s my little self-talking to as I reach the end of the school year and things get crazy – I can’t get everything done without a little help from my friends…
We probably all remember the Ghostbusters quote: “Ray, when someone asks you if you‘re a god, you say ‘YES’!” Well, I always try to think of Ray (aka Dr. Raymond “Ray” Stantz – aka Dan Aykroyd) when someone says, “Can I bring something?” Or, “Can I help you?” … Say “yes” more frequently – people really want to help.
When I’m hesitant, I’ve got to remember that I’m actually doing the generous thing by accepting their offer and by just saying “yes, thank you!” We all want to feel like we are part of a team effort – a community. Giving and receiving help is integral to generating that feeling. So, I’ve just got to learn this lesson … BEFORE the world sends Zuul OR the Stay Puft Marshmallow guy out after me.
