I want to succeed--and to include others with me as I do.

In a zero-sum-game, no one can win without someone else suffering a corresponding loss. Fortunatley, life is not a zero-sum game though there are some who seem to believe that it is. We don't have to push others aside to be winners. And we don't have to enjoy our successes alone. In fact sharing our successes with others can make them much more meaningful and pleasurable.

I will not be embarassed about asking for help when I need it, but I will also appreciate the times I don't have to ask for anything.

It can be very unpleasent to ask others for the things we need. Often what we ask for is given freely and with love, but we are still uncomfortable asking for it. We tend to feel weak or inferior when we have to ask others for help. What we rarely think about , though, is how pleasent it is not to have to ask for someone else's help. Not needing is a good feeling, but not needing to ask may even be a better feeling.

I am willing to risk being vulnerable because I believe in the power of community.

Most of us are resistant when we first join a new community. Will we fit in? Do we want to let the other members of the community into our lives? What does becoming a member of the community say about us? These are important questions to consider. But we can make the world a better place by working with others. And we can't work with others if we merely stand in the background judging and withholding. We must be willing to risk vulnerability if we want to be an engaged member of the community.
