Holly – Thanks so much! I was the same way. But learning to let go a little bit and asking for help and being able to…is one of the most liberating things I have ever done.

Sadly, some people have nothing better to do then knock other people down. Or try to.

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome post, Adam! The most pivotal experience in my life was very small and the most unlikely of earth-shaking events. I used to be afraid of admitting that I didn’t know how to do things, even little things. I didn’t know how to ask the drive-thru teller for a roll of quarters, so I would go into the bank for them every week. One day, I swallowed the huge lump in my throat (READ: PRIDE) and told the drive-thru teller that I needed quarters and didn’t know what I needed to send through the canister. Boom. I haven’t been able to stop admitting what I don’t know ever since!

What I discovered is that nearly everyone I admit that to is willing to teach me how! And I know more! And I become better! So much better than that bitter person who felt the need to take people done a peg to bring them to my level.

Btw, the worst hate comment I’ve ever gotten on my blog was when someone attacked my sobriety. It was so ludicrous that I could never take it seriously. I laughed and showed it to my friends, who also laughed. How sad though. The deeper they try to cut, the further down the scale they seem to be.
