Last week I walked along the beach where thousands of jellyfish had been left by the tide to die and dry up on the sand. Physically they could do nothing about it. They had no hands or feet to lift themselves back to the water. There were no family, friends, colleagues or professionals to pick them up and help them in their time of need.

This made me realise how lucky we are as a species. We have the capabilities of picking ourselves up. Within the reach of everyone is family, a friend, a colleague or a professional that is capable of helping in times of need.

If you are feeling alone and all washed up in life remember that within you is the ability to pick yourself up and start living again. This ability is your birth right as a human being. If finding this ability seems to difficult ask for help. It's amazing what a pair of helping hands can do.
