Ok so you encounter a problem or a situation that stops you
in your tracks. What do you do? Our
natural human instincts immediately tell us to either stand and fight or take flight. We either stand and take it on or we get the “Ham sandwich” out of dodge. If we choose
to take flight some may say that its fear. Which could be true, but its not
always the case. Sometimes you truly have
to take that Underground Railroad to resolve that problem or situation.
When you hear Underground Railroad you immediately think
about slavery. In your head You probably
have a vision of a rugged Harriet Tubman
with a rifle pointing north and people looking like they were dragged through
the mud standing behind her. The
Underground Railroad was so much more than that. It was a network of sources that was in place
to help with the journey. The moral of
the story is “you can’t do
it alone” sometimes you have to ask for
help. Because, as I stated earlier you
just got to get the ham sandwich out of dodge, or in other words you have to
make a change and you will need help with the journey.
Asking for help does not mean you have failed, asking for
help is the bravest move you can make. Asking for help not because you are weak
but because you want to remain strong.
Those slaves that took the underground railroad to freedom are truly heroes. What would America look like today If those brave souls had
not decided to get out of dodge and make a change and accepting the help to do
it.
Don’t be afraid to take the
Underground Railroad when problems and situation arise. Ask for help and accept
the help, be it from a friend, relative, or a stranger.
