The Power of Help: Reclaiming Our Sanity in a World of "Efforting"

There is a four-letter word that many of us avoid because we’ve been conditioned to believe it is a sign of weakness.

That word is HELP.

For most of our lives, we’ve been taught that strength is found in “toughing it out,” “muscling through,” and carrying the weight of our world on our own shoulders.

We’ve been told that if we just work harder, plan better, do more, and exert more willpower, we will eventually reach that goal or vision.

But I want to share a different message today: True, lasting change doesn’t come from more “efforting”, it comes from true surrendering.

This is what this week’s video is all about.

The Illusion of Control

When we try to dictate, micromanage, and control every outcome in our lives, we aren’t being strong - we are being fearful.

Fearful of not making it, of not getting “there”.

This fear-based, relentless “efforting” may lead us to burnout, anxiety, and a deep sense of isolation.

We think we are protecting ourselves, but in reality, we are blocking the very Power that inherently flows within us.

In truth, we are blocking the ease and grace with which Spirit is seeking to come into ever greater and grander expressions in and through us.

Sanity and harmony are not things we force into existence. They are qualities we inherently are, and that we need to allow to come forth from the depths of our being.

The Art of Unconditional Trust And Surrender

True freedom is found in the art of unconditional Trust and Surrender, we hand over the reigns to The One Mind.

When we, in true humility, say “I need help,”

This does not mean that we are admitting defeat. Rather, we are performing an act of wisdom and true strength.

We are stepping out of the way so that we can be moved and used by Spirit.

In that vulnerability, the ego’s grip loosens, and a Spirit with it’s infinite wisdom and Power is allowed to take over.

With the New Year approaching, we don’t have to carry the weight of the coming year- or even this coming week, or this day, or even this now moment - by ourselves.

As we look toward 2026, I invite you to stop swimming against the current.
