Every time you expect that there’s someone (or something) out there who’ll save you, you set yourself up for a disappointment.
They might come. But they might not. It’s hard to know.
The reality is, every time you expect, you’re giving up your own power — the power to keep finding solutions.
I’ve seen it many times. Playing the victim.
Of course you feel bad. Shit happens. I’m not invalidating your feelings.
But that doesn’t change the fact that no matter how terrible you think your situation is, you still have a choice. You’re not actually helpless.
Modern technology has opened up a lot of possibilities. You already have the tools needed to solve most of your problems. (You have access to the Internet. Thank me later.)
That said, nothing’s wrong with asking for help. Sometimes it’s just the right thing to do.
Note I said “ask,” not “expect.”
Asking is a brave act. Expecting is foolishness.
To expect help is being entitled. And entitlement is a recipe for a “life that feels trapped.”
You can’t expect others as everyone has their own lives to deal with.
In fact, you can’t expect from anything — any object, event, place, etc.
There’s only one person capable of saving you.
That is “you.”
