The other day when I met my pastor for coffee, he was working on something on Canva when I arrived. It was not doing what he wanted and he couldn’t figure out why. I mentioned my wife has become a Canva expert because she uses it to make T-shirts. He immediately grabbed his laptop and whet to the table where she was sitting with a friend to get her help. A couple of minutes later he was back, mission accomplished.
Why did he find it so easy to ask for help, and from a woman no less?
At least in part, it’s because he is secure in who he is and his own abilities. He does many things well and he was fine with not being an expert on this particular system. I also know he respects my wife and knew she would be happy to help, which certainly helps.
If you have trouble asking for help, that’s a problem. It’s all well and good to be self-sufficient, but it’s silly to waste time beating your head against a problem when someone else could show you what to do in seconds. If you resist asking for help, ask yourself why. It’s probably not a good reason!
BTW, asking your wife for help shows her that you value and trust her.
