It's Tough Being a Successful Hermit!

"No, leave me alone, I know how to do this. I really don't need anyone's help!"

Ever heard that line? Ever said that line?

I don't know what it is, but there seems to be this mad hatter craze for DIY... in all areas of our lives!

Not saying that personal accomplishment and achievement isn't character building or anything like that.

That's not the point.

But, here is the point -

If you could get somewhere a little quicker, if you could get something a little faster, if you could get to enjoy living life the way you really want to, sooner, rather than later, would you not want to find out how?

Seems a normal, logical, un-fancy question, right?

But see, there seems to be a big old resistance to getting help.

Maybe it's the pride thing.

Maybe it's the, 'that's how we were not brought up' thing.

Maybe it's the timidity in asking thing.

Maybe it's the, "I've been burnt through this all before" thing.

Maybe it's a whole lot of other things.

But see, I haven't met a happy, rich successful hermit... have you?

What does that mean?

Well, it means that if you want to live a fab life, we need to get the help of others.

Again, it seems too normal, too simple too commonsensical to think any different.

But let me tell you this, the number of people who struggle, struggle struggle, without budging, without relenting, without asking for help... is amazing.

But, what shouldn't be amazing are the results that show up in a persons life because of... GOING SOLO.

My son was recently awarded a scholarship for the next academic school term. Could he have achieved it all by himself, all by his own some... without the support, the environment, the helping and caring of others?

I'm helping a number of clients with their marketing promotions and their strategic thinking who've willingly called on me to help - could they have achieved it by themselves?

What about you... look in your own life. What are you doing for people who couldn't make things work in their lives without your help and effort?

And then...

Look at those who just seem to endlessly have a life of fragility, fatigue, bitterness... a life of no control...

Do you think these people are getting help in ways that'll move them from rut to riches, from sadness to success, from hell to happiness...

I think we all know the answers to that, right?

Self help is the best form of training a person can get to build inner strength, powerful confidence and practical living skills. That doesn't mean not going to outside help for assistance in areas we're not upto scratch with.

There's power in partnership.

Is there anyone you know who could use a helping hand, a kind word, a warm hug?

Why not perform a small simple action in their direction, maybe, today?

For all you know, they could be tearing themselves up inside and your simple action, could be the single biggest factor in bringing a delightful freshness into their lives.

They may have secretly been waiting for it.

Let's do it, let's swamp the hermits with kind loving gestures.
