I have always had a hard time asking for help because just when I feel like I can't take anymore or that I want it a little easier, I see someone who has it worse than me and I have nothing to ask for.

I, too, have always been the type to hold out my hand to help a fellow human being - and yes, sometimes I feel taken advantage of but I figure that's their karma - not mine...and I also take ownership of it because I allowed it to happen.

I will never stop giving but I have to remember that I am worthy to give back to myself too...and so are you. It's not greed. It's self-preservation.
