The human ego holds back a person from accepting vulnerability & feeling of uselessness in the face of challenging situation as he/she takes pride in self-sufficiency. However, acceptance & surrender to one’s own limitations & helplessness facilitates seeking timely help from others when the situation so demands. The experience of letting go of the feeling that he/she must be able to do it all by self & accepting help makes one discover humility & gratitude. The human experience of needing others & allowing them to help makes one realize that we are not on our own in the world & a deep feeling of gratitude emerges. A person full of gratitude is happy and more compassionate in service to others.
