Depend on Others
“When the odds are against us, focusing beyond ourselves is what launches us off the ground.” Adam Grant, Hidden Potential
The rally cries of society:
Do hard things.
Make it happen (as in you, make it happen).
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Just do it.
But these cries leave the number one weapon to achieve great results out of one’s arsenal.
Other people.
When we come to an understanding that some people in this world are genuinely for us, that they want our best, that they deeply desire for us to be successful, one can move mountains. Other people in your corner that deeply love you provide fuel to achieve extraordinary results.
What were once insurmountable obstacles become accomplishable. The impossible seems doable. The road doesn’t seem so uphill. The goal becomes achievable.
“Love does not begin with oneself. Love begins by receiving love, internalizing it, and then giving it away to others — paying it forward.” Henry Cloud, The Power of the Other
Everyone needs others to fill the confidence tank to help reach goals – our spouse, our kids, our team.
Fill the tank for others today and your tank will be full.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
