Having supportive people in your life will help you achieve all of your goals. Building a support network of not just one or two people but of different people for different purposes is one of the golden keys to a happy life. If you have young children, for example, getting some time off from caring for them is critical to your health. Finding the right people to leave them with will give you peace of mind. You'll be a better parent when you return from your time off.
When looking for help with anything, be creative in your thinking. Identify what you need help with and possible ways to get it. Then follow as many leads as you can until you find the right match. Making a quick decision on the wrong person can have negative outcomes. Be choosey and have standards that must be met. Take the time to find a good fit or a few weeks and months down the road you will feel that the help is more of a burden than a help. Often, when we are the most desperate we make the worse decisions. Of course we try not to get to that point but sometimes a crisis is unavoidable. Don't drop your standards during these rushed and chaotic periods in your life. You will need to be even more diligent and thoughtful in your search.
