Week 21 – Achieving Life’s Rewards

Welcome Help From Others

Have you ever found yourself in a cloud of doubt, confusion and fear?  It’s as
if you’ve lost all direction even though you know exactly what you want or
need to do next in your pursuit for success.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how clear we become, how focused we have trained
ourselves to be we have moments of debilitating fear and doubt and we become
clouded.  Sometimes these moments will only last for a short time and sometimes
they will continue on and on.

Everyone finds themselves in this place from time to time.  One difference between
those that are successful and those that languish here for a seeming eternity is
the ability (and courage) to seek out guidance and advice from an outside source.  A
mentor, a coach, a trusted friend.  Often times when we are knee deep searching
for a solution or a next step; the fear, the doubt, the confusion are much
too powerful for us to overcome.

Does that indicate weakness?  I don’t think so.  I think it indicates humanness.  Even
the strongest of mind and will amongst us find themselves in need occasionally for outside
council.

The ignorant are those that think they have all the answers and every solution without any
guidance.  It is the truly connected that understand that it does take village to
grow ourselves and to grow our businesses.

Who are you confiding in? Are you trying to muddle through the waters alone or are you
reaching out to gain clarity.  You may feel as though you have all the answers within and
you don’t need assistance.  While this may be true sometimes the path of least
resistance to is to remove yourself from the equation at least a bit.  Let someone
you respect and trust take a look at your situation with a clear mind.

You will be surprised at what arises.  That which you may (or may not) already know
is the answer but the support and guidance will free you up to take the actions
necessary to remove the blocks and step forward.

Look to your circle of influence.  Who do you respect or trust?  Have the courage
to welcome help from others.

Remember ACTION creates more ACTION.  The more you sit and think and try to figure
out your next move the harder it becomes to actually take that next move.

Think like a winner, Act like a winner, Be the winner that I KNOW you are!
