Not Just Any Help

Maybe it’s my pride, ego, or stubbornness but some who offer help I’ll refuse. Some people’s assistance is akin to traces of poison, it may not kill you right away but small amounts over time definitely will.

Several weeks ago I watched a documentary about the life of Dr. Sebi. He’d helped numerous individuals during his lifetime by curing certain ailments. Cancer, AIDS, and so many others were cured from his methodologies. When challenged and taken to court, his defense was based entirely on his cured patients and his work went uninterrupted. Towards the end of his life he was arrested and confined for traveling with more than the allowed amount of money without proper documentation. When asked by a family member if he was eating, he answered that he wasn’t. He said something along the lines of “I know the food is poisoned.”

Even when hungry and in need, he didn’t accept the help that was offered. I’m sure it was uncomfortable. I’m certain it wasn’t a pleasant experience during those last days, but he held fast to his convictions, as will I. The assistance offered by some has attachments akin to poison. Verbal jabs and barbs, looks of disdain and condescension or whatever else you may notice, those things are akin to poison. They weaken your system and lessen your ability to accomplish that for which you were created. Keep moving forward, unabated, undeterred. You are His favorite child - act accordingly!!!

Today, Thursday, September 1, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’ve held steady on my course. There have been moments, days even, when quitting seemed as if it was a viable option. Remaining steady in my course, strong in my conviction, and determined to fulfill my purpose must remain upfront in my heart and mind.

My attitude is shifting a bit more to the positive. I’m feeling a bit anxious, mostly from things nearing completion. As I speak of my work people become interested, curious, and supportive. I’ve remained hesitant to speak, since it’s not finished, but I’m thinking I’ll need to step it up a bit and gather more momentum for the launch.

I’ve been able to tap into the expertise of others. I’ve done this in previous careers, but it’s always surprising how experts abound. They’re not challenging to find and once asked, they willingly share their knowledge.

Are you stubborn like me, only accepting help from those you choose?

How do you differentiate healthy from poisonous?

When’s the last time you turn away assistance?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
