In a good story, the hero rarely succeeds alone. Especially in a plot where the circumstances appear dire, the hero has some help.
One of the tragedies of this age is that we are increasingly loners and lonely. We go about self-improvement projects alone and falter because of our blind spots. And it seems to be getting worse. It’s become an epidemic after the pandemic. When we feel we have to go it alone, all hope evaporates.
But we are never truly alone. Keep this in mind: we can be recipients and givers of assistance no matter what stage of need you are in.
Help that maintains the dignity of the one in need and gives kindness and consideration to them works wonders.
Think back to when you were in need, and someone was there to give you aid. That is a story worth telling. Perhaps that story will help someone else see that they can rise from a low place.
An encouraging story can be just the help someone needs.
