I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I have a post about effort, assistance and support.

I am using the words assistance and support in a way that I am making a distinction between the two words because it is possible to use these words as if they mean the same thing.

To me there are times when it is not only appropriate but necessary to ask for help. In my opinion the only time when it is unnecessary to ASK (not receive) for help is when you absolutely do not need it. I believe if you ask for help it is because you are doing what you can but think that help is necessary. I would not ask for help unless I was first “helping” myself meaning I am putting forth the effort to be successful but believe or know for sure that without help I will not achieve my desired result.

If someone were to offer help I would only accept if I needed it or if I believed that they wanted to offer help because they were willing to contribute along with my effort without insinuating that I required it. An example would be I can shovel the snow myself in the driveway but my neighbor just finished shoveling his driveway and while still in winter gear and shovel in hand they wanted not just to help or believed I needed help but instead of saying hello and catching up with me while I shoveled we could chat while we both shoveled snow.

Now I want to make the distinction as I see it between support and assistance.

Assistance is the type of help that supplements my effort to achieve a desired result. An example would be I want to provide a meal for 4 people that requires 2 hours of prep time and if someone helps me prep it would save me an hour but still require me to do everything else.

Support is provided by outsourcing my effort beyond the request for support to achieve a desired result. An example would be I want to provide a meal for 4 people and go to a restaurant and pay for the meal. The waitress and cook would do what it was that I did not have to in order to achieve the desired result and once I prepaid for the meal and sat down it required no more effort on my part.

A quick example of the difference is someone having the desired result of being on top of a mountain and in one version the person walks up the mountain with a person pushing them from behind along the way up the mountain (Assistance) and in another version a person is picked up off their feet and carried to the top of the mountain (support). In both versions the person achieved the desired result but one took effort throughout the whole process and the other did not.

If you ever need my assistance or support, I am here for you.
