PEARLS OF WISDOM: Get some allies! 3 Part Series Part 1

This is an ongoing series of posts on various subjects for which I lacked a decent Google-searchable keyword title. Searching Google for ideas produced, “PEARLS OF WISDOM”, which has such a rich flavor of hubris and chuzpah that I just HAD to use it.

Here’s the first part of a pearl

GET SOME ALLIES.

Every successful person in the world has used help to get where they were going. The smartest sought out assistance early and often and continue to ask when in need. Only the most clueless and stubborn people refuse to get help. Let’s face it, we didn’t incarnate on a planet of over 6 billion people to do everything by ourselves.

Dump the bad old ways.

This is the perfect opportunity to rid yourself of any old notions you might have about asking for help. After all, misplaced pride or a sense of shame has no place on the path of a purposeful life. Any opinions, emotions or feelings that prevent you from accessing all the resources available to you are hindrances to the authentic expression of your Life Purpose. Turn away from the folly of thinking you need to do everything on your own. Remind yourself over and over as many times as it takes that it’s smart to ask for help. It does not profit you, nor does it profit the world to think otherwise.

Here’s a basic fact about Life Purpose: All Life Purposes are complimentary to one another.

What this rightly implies is that they are meant to be used and expressed in concert with others. We are meant to help one another along our paths of self fulfillment. Even in the most solitary of lives or activities, it is important to remember that living in accordance with our Purpose helps to promote and sustain that energy in others as it nourishes ourselves.

Help comes in many forms. One of the most readily available forms of help comes from other people. We call those people allies.

It’s a great idea to enlist the aid of as many allies as you can get to assist you in living a purposeful life. Actually, it’s more than a great idea, it’s a necessity for most if not all Life Plans to enlist the help of allies in order to live richly.

Come back soon for the follow up to this post, wherein I shall discuss what makes someone an ally.

    Thanks for saying so, Ann. When powerful women like yourself enthusiastically acknowledge the importance of having allies, it gives the reader further encouragement to stop going it alone. Many thanks.

  • So true, have learned the hard way that I don't have to know everything. Being an artist and entrepreneur is a very solitary existence. I find that the more I interact with others, the more creativity I find within myself. Thanks!

  • Molly, love this blog! I actually find it to be a huge relief when I know I need help and there's an ally(ies) nearby to rely and count on. One is such a lonely number, huh? I've always said it's not what I know but who I know that's made me successful!

    Sharon, I absolutely LOVE it when successful people like you share their wisdom as you just did. It helps affirm that what I'm saying not only works for those who are struggling, for those who are finally engaged in realizing true wealth or like you, continue to prosper yourself and others through the sharing of your insights. Thank you so much.
