People want help, and want _to_ help


She leaned in

as she said:
"It’s simple...

People want help
and
they want _to_ help,

The hard stuff
is all in the middle.

Asking for help,
That’s hard.

You’re a bit vulnerable,
It takes courage.

the real trick
is knowing
what you need,

and asking
in a way
the receiver
is capable
and able
to
help.

That’s hard.

We want
a mission,
We want
achievable tasks.
We want
to help

It feels good

Often
we
don’t know
how,

Often
we
are
not
asked.

That’s hard."
