Helplessness: that dull, sick feeling of not being the one at the reins. When did you last feel like that –- and what did you do about it?
I don’t ever feel helpless. If I feel something needs to change in a situation I think outside the square to find an answer to the problem. Sometimes the leader may require help, I may need more explanation of what is really going on or life may have suddenly taken a tragic turn that needs managing. Whatever the reason feeling helpless just takes away my power. I hope you enjoy the following acrostic poem of how I turn HELPLESS into HOPE.
Hopeful an alternative could be found
Eager and encouraged to look for a solution
Liberated to have an idea
Pleased to put it forward
Liking the response I received
Empathetic to our leader
Safe in the knowing
Self-doubt didn’t stop me finding hope
