Several of us wrote 7 Cups for the Searching Soul back in 2016. It outlines some of the key lessons we learned in our community along the way. To begin, read through the Introduction and Chapter 1. If you don't have the book, then you can download it for free on Amazon here. If you do not have access to Amazon please download it here. Once done reading, post here to earn the soul searcher  badge.
In this thread, please answer the following questions:
1. What was the thing that stood out to you most in the introduction?
2. What was  most important lesson you learned from the story of Ancora (Chapter 1)?  Â
3. How can we learn and help others get more comfortable with the idea that asking for help - or experiencing need - is a strength or a skill that we need to develop to help one another grow stronger?

Hello everyone!
#1: One thing that really stood out to me in the introduction was the fact that this game of life
is not crystal clear. The fact that people feeling un-normal is really the normal.
#2: I love the story of the Anrora. One thing that I learned was that everyone was having the same baseline problem. They all had different circumstances but the same baseline problem. The only difference is that the poorer people of Anrora asked for more help.
#3: I think we can start by just understanding. Understand why someone might ask for help or why they need the help. I love the example of asking for help in school & having the whole class feel similar.
3. How can we learn and help others get more comfortable with the idea
that asking for help - or experiencing need - is a strength or a skill
that we need to develop to help one another grow stronger?

1. What was the thing that stood out to you most in the introduction?
The words in bold. Trust and Love
2. What was the most important lesson you learned from the story of Ancora (Chapter 1)?
That avoiding fear only creates more fear and trying to fix the problem as individuals separates you from people. When faced with a difficult situation, the best thing to do is to agree to seek help from your peers.
3. How can we learn and help others get more comfortable with the idea that asking for help - or experiencing need - is a strength or a skill that we need to develop to help one another grow stronger?
“A friend in need is a friend indeed”. This quote says asking for help shows you trust the person. There’s no need to feel shame.
We must learn that working together to help and support each other is better than working as individuals.
