Going it alone requires a certain kind of mindset and produces a particular outcome. It can be useful when there is work to be done and focus required to get there.

However, if a person wants to improve, better themselves, see their weaknesses and build a support system, they will need others. They need a friend (at minimum) who has the same desire and mindset, working towards the same ideal.

I can say that everything I’ve built and done so far has been the direct result of the people I’ve known. Those who were providing the supports weren’t doing it out of some obligation (well… maybe my parents), but for a genuine desire to help.

But that is the hardest part.

Admitting you need for help.

Admitting you need others.

And the hardest of all… accepting that help.
