Movies, the media and our culture has taught us in many ways to escape from responsibility and to wait for a savior who can help us out. Usually the good guy in any movie finds someone to inspire him, to help him or a white knight who solves his problems for him. But the real world is different. In the real world no white knights will appear to help you with your life No old wise man will tell you about the right direction you should take and you wont find someone to help you with your life all the time. You are that white night you are waiting for You are that old wise man You are the only one who can help himself out.

What sort of help do you need? Do you need someone to talk to about your sufferings? Or do you need guidance towards a certain goal?

Hi, As I struggle with my own issue's I self reflect and write out positive message's for myself- I would like to share my feeling's in hope's for someone to connect with and walk forward in life! A wise man understands that all human beings - him included - are flawed, broken, and potentially dangerous.But he also understands that all human beings, however flawed, broken, or dangerous, are still capable of amazing kindness, creativity, and good. The wise man therefore focuses on each individual's potential for kindness, creativity and good, and takes the flaws, brokenness and danger calmly and in stride. A foolish man expects perfection from everyone except himself, so he is constantly shocked, offended and outraged when he finds a flaw, a broken place, or a dangerous tendency in anyone. The foolish man is therefore constantly crying foul, over-reacting, criticizing, judging, and blaming others for his unhappiness.

My mother has a saying that I love. "You are whole, perfect, and complete. And you may not understand it now, but when you were a baby, you were whole, perfect, and complete. And the only thing that has changes is others opinion of you which doesn't change you as a person". Hope this helps!!!

Help , it is a word we all need and use it often times in our lives , no one can count the ways help can be served really , If you look around you will see hundreds and more of way to serve help to yourself and your surroundings , for instance..If you need help you can reach to someone close to you or your family to support you through your issue , If you need emotional help you can get it by speaking to someone who cares about you , and here on 7cups we would take that privilege to listen to you :) You can help yourself by doing what interests you and fulfills your needs , this may include ( taking your pet for a walk , going on picnics..listening to music and songs..cleaning your room..cooking...reading a book...watching movies...coming on 7cups :D etc...) but a person can define how to help himself/herself better by understanding their issues and it's nature...about helping others out , listening to them. supporting them , giving them a smile is counted as help for sure , sometimes just writing an uplifting cheerful letter to them can help them...or posting nice and hopeful pictures and words...etc . So help is always available , no matter how was it or how was it served , live or through the internet , it helps as long as it comes out of a kind compassionate willing heart.

Talk with hope. You must ask for help, which may never arrive, until it does. Nothing stays the same when you don't.

Hmm. Difficult question to answer. If you need help with 'your life', you could seek help for it. It depends specifically on what the problem is. If it's medical, go see a medical specialist. IF it's mental, you could try telling someone you trust about it, or ask a psychologically-trained professional. If it's just general things that don't go well, like oftenly having alot of discussions with a partner, Maybe a life coach could be something for you. If you need any further help deciding however, don't hesitate to ask someone here. There are thousands of people willing to help you at any time of the day!

I need help with being more positive about things rather than being so optimistic. I need help with realizing my past shouldn't reflect my future.

The best help you can receive is from yourself. Keep your head high and always do what you feel is best. Be confident in who you are and never let any one put you down. You are unique. Be proud of you.

Only you and God can help you with your life. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. Here on 7cups you can find support and love, but the only way you can change or 'fix' your life is by deciding to.

I'd say, it's okay to be vulnerable. Feel the vulnerability and ask for help. Asking and needing help does not equate to weakness. I've seen from my personal experience again that the more I am vulnerable, the more I embrace the fact that I might need help with a few things, the moment I take a step forward and ask for help, I find help in ways I couldn't have imagined. Being vulnerable is the hardest part I think :)
