For really capable types, asking for help can be really diffciult.  Often, if feels weak and defeated to admit that we might need a little help from others.  What I've learned over the years is that actually asking for help is a sign of empowerment - because to know that you need help, is to know where you lack.  We can't do everything in life, so relying on others for those things that you can't do, shows an incredible amount of self-awareness.
