Stop! You need help.

Every road has travelers who have passed through it before; every mountain has climbers who have reached its peak; every sea has swimmers who have dived to its depth. 

Life has sojourners who have passed through the same path you are passing through today. Men and women whose experiences and stories, including their victories and tragedies, have transformed their mind and outlook to life. They are embodiment of wisdom, patience and results. 

Seek out these men and women as you surely need help to deal with that situation you are in. They know what you are struggling with and they can support you as you navigate your way away from that highway of confusion you find yourself.

These men and women may not look like you, speak like you, live where you live or have as much as you have, but they may be your bridge to your land of solution and progress.

When you access them, be humble enough because pride closes the door to instruction and haughtiness destroys the gate to wisdom. 

Are you thinking of where these men and women are or how to access them? Hey! they are right around the corner where you are. Your father, mother, wife, husband, sister, brother, uncle, aunt, boss, neighbor etc. These are the men and women I am talking about. They are not strangers to you. You know them, perhaps you are just 'too familiar' with them to think they can help you.

They are wise, you just don't think they are. Talk to them, this time, with humility.

If you think these men and women are not the ones you were thinking about, then pick up your bible and you will be opened to a world of another sets of men and women who have answers to your questions. From Adam, to Sarah to Mary to Paul, to Jesus Christ, you can't miss wisdom if you seek it from the life of these people.

One thing is sure, you can't go ahead making mistakes or wallowing in your self-inflicted problems. You need help. Stop and get some help.
