If I ever could have helped myself, I would have done so a very long time ago. My favorite illustration is the one about trying to pull oneself up by the bootstraps...and the result was that I could only ever just tip my own nose right back into the mud. So when I found myself stuck at the bottom of a slimy pit, I had to drop the shovel and call out for help.
