Don't Hesitate To Go Further

Happy Hump Day! Fall weather has finally arrived in the Midwest. Numerous festivals are going on due to the change of seasons. We are still coping with coronavirus, and we still need to help each other. There's an old African proverb that says "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together". In life and in business, this has proven to be true. Many entrepreneurs will tell you that having the right team behind them helped them exponentially.

As far as giving in to get that sort of pay off, most leaders will share it's the best decision they made. For some reason, society promotes a do-it-yourself ideal of peak performance, relentlessness, and exertion to exhaustion. Nothing could be further from the truth, especially when it comes to your mental health. There are too many counselors out here who are available. There are too many resources that are out here and available. Even if you don't reach out for help, people may notice and reach out to you. Accept that phone call. Accept that text message. Respond. You don't have to go into lengthy explanation, but just respond. Let people know whether you're okay, or not. It's okay not to be okay. It's okay to accept help from an outside resource. Recently I heard a sermon from prominent Bishop TD Jakes. He mentioned the fact that some people just think they're so special that they can do everything on their own. They just don't need any help from anyone. They don't even really ask Jesus our Lord and Savior for the help that they need. No one can do it alone but God. The whole notion of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is just as much a fairy tale as the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. Everyone had a leg up. Everyone had a system in place to get to where they are. Whether that system worked in their favor, or worked against them, there was still a machine in place. There's a methodology in place to come up with specified outcomes. I hope to be successful. And I always wish that you're successful too. But this is a stigma harder than anything else that we need to overcome. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. There's nothing wrong for receiving help. There's nothing wrong with volunteering your services in the time that you need help. If you want to make sure that there is reciprocity. take a deep look at your actions. Do a SWOT analysis on your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to determine your status. See what it is that you can do to help further your cause. This will let others see how serious you are about achieving your goals. Achieving higher levels of existence and living your best life. The purple life. Please share your comments below.
