As you hopefully have come to see by now, I appreciate and care about my audience.

Which is why I’m going to ask something unexpected of you:

Don’t ask me for help.

At least, not as a first and immediate response to an issue that presents itself in your life.

So, to clarify, I’m not saying don’t ever ask me for help. That’d be awfully ironic for an aspiring influencer and motivator to say.

What I am saying, however, is don’t let me be the first choice of action when things start to get rough.

When life knocks you down,
when life throws pain and agony your way,
when life kicks you in the shins,

Don’t come ask me for help as a first response.

Here’s why.

If you’ve been following me for some time, you know that I had a rough upbringing.
