Being helpful sounds like a great attribute, especially at work.

But, it's surprising how often we decide not to be helpful or not accept others help. Or, judge help from one as less significant than what someone else offers.

I'm practicing being more helpful in my work. Accepting opportunities that are different than I imagined myself doing. Doing things that could be thought of as "above my pay grade," or more often "below my pay grade."

It's worth paying attention to why you help, when you help, and how you help.

Are you helpful?
