That saying
– Pull yourself up
by the bootstraps?
That originally refers
to an impossible feat.
A person literally CAN’T
pull themselves up
by the bootstraps.
That isn’t possible.
We can’t pull
ourselves up
by our bootstraps
figuratively either.
We need help.
We all need help.
All successful people
have had help,
whether they admit
that truth
or not.
So ask for help.
ACCEPT help.
There’s no shame
in it.
And it is the ONLY way
we’ll be successful.
